While the more famous Tait Jacket is more recognizable to the modern living historian, the Southern Confederacy equally imported large number of trousers for her forces in the final year of the conflict.
Based on the surviving original, the trousers are made from English Army Cloth, trimmed in branch piping, closed with tin buttons, and have mule-ear pockets. While the jackets from Tait were machine sewn, the trousers that were imported appear to have been handsewn, with this feature being replicated.
