Soldiers participating in a civil war need some form of camouflage while at the same time have symbols of who they are and their cause as past of the uniform.
Civil war uniforms are often impromptu loosely put together uniforms. They are in use today in many parts of the world where there is political tension and unrest. Those soldiers fighting on the same team for the same cause usually create an unofficial army of soldiers. As they organize themselves, often adopt a style of dress that is soon considered a uniform; their uniform. If there are any women among their ranks, they will usually help out with sewing and putting together new uniforms for recruits. As with any other military unit, the use of a uniform is a strategy used to develop a camaraderie and a united front between those members of the same unit. This is something that can be seen all over the world.
There is usually some type of camouflage involved whenever civil war fighting uniforms are developed. Camouflage colors are important so that the soldiers wearing them do not become easy shooting targets for the enemy. Any soldier's uniform should have a lot of pockets and places for the person wearing it to safely store bits and pieces. Good quality uniforms and clothing that is specifically made for practical purposes, have pockets that are sown into strategic places so as not to create an awkward unbalance on the wearers movements. Soldiers in combat need to be able to carry all of their gear while also have the ability to move about freely and easily whenever danger raises its ugly head.
Combat trousers look great and have enjoyed being at the height of fashion for the past few years. One of the most distinctive features of combat trousers are the pockets that are placed on the sides of the legs. The pockets look great, however they are not made this way simply for looks and fashion. They are placed there for practical reasons as well. Pockets in all of the right places are vital in providing soldiers with good, easy ways to transport all of their tools and gear on their person instead of scattered all over the place where they might not find them in the heat of the moment.
In the United States, there are many groups that come together on regular occasions to re-enact battles from the old United States civil war period. Many of these events take place on the date that the original battle took place. These old civil war uniforms are put together based on old paintings from that era and written descriptions of civil war uniforms in older writings and documents. These uniforms are custom-made to look exactly like the originals with as much perfection as possible. They will be made with the same materials as was used during the US Civil War. A lot of integrity and pride goes into the making of a replica civil war uniform as does the exact re-enactment of a documented battle.
