Historical Background
The Continental Army Navy Blue Coat is one of the most recognizable uniforms of the American Revolutionary War (1775 to 1783). When the war began, colonial soldiers arrived in battle wearing a mix of civilian clothing and local militia coats, resulting in little uniformity across the ranks. To establish order and identity, By 1779, the Continental Army adopted official regulations calling for navy blue coats with facings yellow that differed by region and regiment. Blue was chosen because it represented unity, patriotism, and could be dyed more easily in the colonies.
