Civil War Chaplain Black Sash Silk/Wool | Authentic Reproduction Sash

Honour the men of faith who served on both sides of America's bloodiest conflict with the Civil War Chaplain Black Sash — an authentic reproduction crafted from premium silk and wool in faithful adherence to period military dress regulations.

During the American Civil War (1861–1865), chaplains were distinguished members of a regiment's officer corps, and the black sash was their defining insignia of rank and spiritual office. Unlike the coloured sashes worn by infantry, cavalry, or artillery officers, the chaplain's black sash set these men of the cloth apart on the battlefield, parade ground, and in the field hospital. This reproduction captures every detail of that tradition with precision.

Constructed from a quality silk and wool blend, this chaplain sash delivers the rich drape, correct weight, and authentic lustre that living history participants, collectors, and costume designers demand. The deep black colouring is period-accurate and consistent with documented originals held in Civil War museum collections. Whether worn over a Union or Confederate chaplain's frock coat, the sash completes a regulation-accurate ensemble that will withstand close scrutiny at any re-enactment event.

This reproduction sash is equally at home in a museum display case, a theatrical or film production requiring authentic Civil War costuming, or the personal collection of a serious militaria enthusiast.
