1st Louisiana Special Battalion Pantaloons
Based on the Zouave pantaloons worn by the famed 1st Louisiana Special Battalion "Wheat's Tigers", the pantaloons are made from heavy cotton white and blue stripes cut to surviving similar examples of original Zouave pantaloons. The pantaloons are closed with a three button fly, one waist buttons, side seam pockets, pack adjustment belt, and leg ties to be gathered into the stockings. Unlike many Federal copies of the Zouave style pantaloons, I utilized surviving French examples that have a number differing features in how the legs are formed and the width of the leg prior to gathering.
