The C&C Sutlery US 11th Indiana Zouave Shell is based off of the original pattern and is made from Navy Blue broadcloth. As per the original specifications, this jacket is trimmed with both 3/8" Sky Blue grosgrain tape and is decorated with 1/8" Sky Blue soutache. 

"The 11th Indiana Infantry Regiment originally wore a gray Americanized-Zouave uniform that quickly wore out after one year of service.  In designing a replacement uniform, Colonel Lewis Wallace considered Union blue, and an even more Americanized version of the Zouave jacket with integral vest.  The use of U. S. Army sky blue trousers was adopted but the distinctive red  kepi was retained.  This uniform was worn throughout the war with some individual modification as time wore on."
