Pattern has two optional styles of front: a rounded style similar to the men’s Zouave uniforms and the squarer civilian style that emerged later. There are instructions included for two methods of construction: those used to create the uniform look, and the usual civilian method as well as documentation for the stylings and fabric and trim ideas.
These jackets were originally styled with the Zouave military look but were quickly adapted for civilian wear. The Zouave round front style was worn by boys of all ages. After the Civil War this style jacket continued to be worn.
