I did some research on Confederate Civil War uniforms so I can make this colorization as accurate as possible. Here is what I learned: 1) The Confederacy didn’t have really have standardized uniforms. Officers were also required to purchased their own so in many cases, they were individualized 2) The only thing that was standardize on the uniforms was the rank, the color of the collar and insignias. This varied of course from rank, unit and occupation. 3) Buster is wearing a Lt. Colonel’s uniform and not a General uniform. The General uniform would have three stars and a wreath around it. The blue collar represents that he is in the infantry. His hat is a generic officer’s hat.
