The Other Navy Uniforms

The 1895 uniform looks too simple from afar. It has quite a bit of elaborate trim, a 1 1/2" outline of mohair trim around the edges and 1/4" mohair braid inside that. I will have to include some images of how it is done.
1895 Service Dress Blues, Spanish American War
The 1895 Summer White is very hard to see the detail on. All the trim is white in the same pattern as the blues, again I will publish some details.

Confederate Navy...note the unusual pattern of the gold lace on the sleeves, very Brittish...

The Texas Navy was very important to Texas winning independence from Mexico. There were not many uniform regulations for me to go by in building this uniform.
