| ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS (1836 - 1846) |
||||
After experimenting with dissimilar purchases
in the United States, the
Republic of Texas settled on uniform and cap designs nearly identical
to those worn by U.S. Army troops. The Texans, however, were more
foresighted in directing that cotton-blend jackets and white cotton
trousers, instead of wool, be worn during the summer months.
Privates, Musicians, & Noncommissioned Officers
Enlisted Dress Uniform jackets of the Texas Army were dark blue. Musicians and buglers wore scarlet.
The working or fatigue uniform jackets were gray.

Commissioned and General Officers
Officers' uniform jackets; dress, undress, and fatigue were all of dark blue.
Infantry were the elite of the Army and had insignia to denote the destinction. All other departments wore insignia in line with that of the general officers; Cavalry, Ordnance, General Staff, and the Pay and Medical Departments.
