Reproduction Model 1884 U.S. Army fatigue coat and pants as first issued to the Rough Riders. The original coats had "Goodyear patent" hard-rubber buttons. After Cuban combat, the Rough Riders burned their filthy clothing and were issued flashy new Model 1898 fatigue uniforms. Almost no examples of the first uniform exist today.
