Civil War Buff Sash | Silk & Wool General Officers Sash

Honour the tradition of Civil War officer dress with the Civil War Buff Sash — a premium silk and wool General Officers sash faithfully reproduced from original American Civil War (1861–1865) patterns.

The buff-coloured sash was among the most recognisable marks of senior officer distinction during the Civil War era. Worn by General Officers of both the Union Army and the Confederate States Army, the buff sash signalled the highest tier of military command — a tradition rooted in 18th-century British and Continental Army regulations that carried through to the battlefields of Antietam, Gettysburg, and beyond.

This replica is crafted from a premium silk and wool blend, replicating the luxurious drape, texture, and buff tone of surviving originals held in museum collections across the United States. The generous length and wide body are sized to period specifications, allowing for authentic wrapping and knotting at the waist as worn by General Officers in the field and on formal parade.

Whether you're a dedicated Civil War re-enactor portraying a Union or Confederate general, a militaria collector displaying period-accurate officer accoutrements, or a costumer seeking historically correct dress uniform accessories, this buff sash delivers the authenticity your portrayal demands.

Key features:

– Authentic buff colourway matching General Officers' regulation dress

– Premium silk and wool construction for period-correct drape and texture

– Faithfully reproduced from original 1860s US military patterns

– Suitable for Union and Confederate General Officer impressions
