A little History on the trousers from the US Regulations of Dress Between 1851 and 1857, the uniform trousers for officers and enlisted men were of cloth of sky blue mixture, to be worn throughout the year, "made loose and to spread well over the boots." For enlisted mounted men they were reinforced; for the first time this was prescribed. Dark-blue cloth was worn by the general officers and the general staff. The general staff and staff corps had a small buff welt; the regimental officers a small welt laid into the outer seam of the colors of the arms of the service. This also was the case for enlisted men. The general orders issued in 1857 made a couple of changes, in which one was in the uniform trousers of officers and enlisted men - now to be of dark-blue cloth, made without plaits. A gold cord one-eighth of an inch in diameter, instead of a buff welt, was prescribed, to be worn by officers of the general staff and staff corps, a sky-blue welt for officers of infantry, and for other corps the welt then worn. Sergeants were allowed a stripe one and one-half inches wide, corporals a stripe half an inch wide, of the color of the facings of the corps. This was also the case in the General Orders #6 of the Revised Regulations of March 13, 1861. Then in December 1861 came General Orders 108. General Orders 108 132. The following change is made in the uniform trowsers of regimental officers and enlisted men: The cloth to be sky-blue mixture. The welt for officers, and stripes for non-commissioned officers of Infantry, to be of dark blue. Description from revised regulations of 1861
