The 1872 dress coat for officers had its genesis in Special Orders No. 260, Headquarters of the Army, dated July 3, 1871, which ordered the assembly of a board of officers whose primary duty was to be the revision of current army regulations.
On June 27, 1872, the board's recommendation for a change in uniform design was approved by President U.S. Grant, followed by that of the Secretary of War who issued General Orders No. 76, dated July 29, 1872, which laid out the specifics.
The 1872 dress uniform coat for officers was readily distinguished from its predecessor being double-breasted with two rows of buttons - all company grade officers (lieutenants and captains) wearing coats ornamented with seven buttons per row and field grade officers (majors through colonels), nine per row.
