The collar, sleeve, front edge, bottom, back seams, and bolsters of the jacket are trimmed 3/8" tape.

The bolsters were set at the bottom of the rear/side seams and were designed to 'bolster' the weight of a saber belt which carried the pistol and saber of a mounted soldier. The mounted services jackets are typically longer than most other Civil War shell jackets as the belt needed ride above the bolsters.
