The Union soldiers in Gettysburg wore dark blue wool jackets and dark blue caps with visors to keep the sun out of their eyes. Most of their clothing was wool because wool didn't make rain soak in and stay in, and it was easy to wash. They also wore white T-shirts that were sent from their families back home, it was pretty much the only not itchy and comfortable part of their uniforms.
