At the moment I'm thinking about a unit in late war sack coats with maybe a few New York shell jackets sprinkled around. The coats will be all blue and without the green cuffs and collars that most uniform guides favour.
I have learned so much from readers that I thought I would throw it out for any advice. Many thanks Simon.

At least one unit wore grey trousers rather than the "sky blue" regulation ones. Just one more distinction.
Thanks Guys, I remember the grey trousers now, that might be another nice addition to the shell jackets.
Take a look at these guys. http://116thpa.com/
Thanks AHunt, the photo on the site shows a group of mixed shell and sack coats without the green collar and cuffs. Bang on for what I had planned, many thanks.
