The US Enlisted Musician Shell Jacket is made of 16 oz. Navy Blue Wool with Branch of Service 1/2 inch wool tape on the front, collar and the inverted "V" on the cuff. The Jacket is Single Breasted with a 9 Button Front of Federal Eagle Buttons. The Functional Cuff is closed with 2 small Federal Eagle buttons. All Button Holes are HAND STITCHED. The Jacket is lined in Black Cotton and the sleeves are lined in Natural Cotton Muslin. There is an inside breast pocket.

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.
