johnny12550 Posted December 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2016 Can anyone help identify this uniform. The inside tag has an address to Poughkeepsie NY tailor the tag is named and dated 1910. Is this some type of National Guard or Militia uniform uniform? The button backs are marked "Scovill mfg co. - waterbury". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtA Posted December 20, 2016 Share #6 Posted December 20, 2016 With the 4 chevrons, I'd guess Military School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mconrad Posted January 5, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 5, 2017 In 1910, the several NG full-dress regimental uniforms that were not regular Army regulation were expensive, highly distinctive, and used by units that were well placed both financially and socially. Hard to believe there was a unit going to the trouble of a regimental uniform based on a obsolete Army pattern that was pretty darn plain and mundane. And those purple chevrons with the blue light infantry bugle! Try to explain those! I agree with the previous post from KurtA - most likely a military school. Is the sizing appropriate for a youth?

johnny12550 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah, there is no purple on the uniform. Both chevrons and bugle are blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted January 7, 2017 The uniform is a bit bigger then youth size. Probably fit a slender man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
