This is a faithful reproduction of the U.S. Army Model 1899 khaki service uniform, worn by American soldiers during the late Spanish-American War period and throughout the Philippine Insurrection. The set includes the M1899 pattern khaki tunic and matching trousers, accurately recreated from original Quartermaster specifications.
The tunic is made from tightly woven khaki cotton drill, featuring a five-button front with gilt U.S. Army buttons, two chest and two lower pockets with flaps, shoulder straps for rank insignia, and a stand-and-fall collar. The tailoring is clean and functional, designed for tropical climates and active service.
The trousers match the tunic in material and tone, with high waist, button fly, reinforced seat and knees, and adjustment buttons at the ankle for blousing into leggings or boots. Together, they form the typical field service uniform worn by both officers and enlisted men during the turn-of-the-century campaigns in Cuba, Puerto Rico, China, and the Philippines.
Each piece is made with precise attention to early U.S. Army tailoring details, making it ideal for museums, collectors, and historical reenactors.
