Is Coach's patriotic shirt pictured on http://www.civilwaruniforms.net/shirts.htm a one or two-piece body?

The patriotic shirt is a 2-piece body but it does not have to be because it has shoulder straps on it.

This is a Charlie Childs pattern with some of my own variations.

A common pattern is a one-piece body with gussets under sleeves with or without a collar using same pattern.

You can vary widths of cuffs to copy original photographs. There is no standard pattern - even issued shirts were made off civilian patterns of day. The variation of shirts is mind-boggling. You will see everything.

The most common shirt has a placket front with about 3 buttons. But you will see shirts that button all way down. There is everything from A to Z.

If you see a shirt in an original photo and you want to copy it, do it. The red, white, blue on this shirt was a copy. Patriotic shirts were a common theme.

The kind of furniture in room is also very important when choosing an area rug. Most people that want to compliment any room of their houses with a rug, know what are looking for before start. For example, if your room features dark wood furniture, probably your best choice might be darker colors in mood of area rug. No matter what pattern you have chosen, you will be totally surprised on how feeling of room has changed. Anyhow, there exist a wide range of colors, patterns and sizes that reflect all possible styles for enhancing your home. Just choose correct one and your house will seem totally different.
