its amazing people wore all that shit in the middle of june in fucking texas

I tried on my grandpa's Army combat/field uniform from WWII one time, and I have no fucking clue how he was able to wear that thing in North Africa.

I mean, I get lightweight high-color long-sleeve shirts to keep the sun off of your neck and arms, but damn.

Consider that the folks in these photos had never experienced air-conditioning, ever.

All the thick woolen stuff works in the Union states but man in the Confederacy too?  I suppose only rich people had access to seersucker and such, and everybody had 1 outfit and if you only had 1 outfit….its got to be a damn suit
