The Confederate Service Dress Uniform, typically known as the C-SDU, is the semi-formal attire provided to members of the nation’s armed forces.
When selecting the materials that would come to represent the Confederacy’s military personnel, no expense was spared. Ultimately, the nation decided upon two fabrics: Cambric and Shell Spider Silk that would become makeup the iconic, dark-hued ensemble. Cambric was selected due to its breath-ability and capacity to provide a comfortable body temperature across a number of environments; for the most part is is considered “never too hot, never too cold.” Next, Shell Spider Silk was elected due to its overall resiliency against blaster bolts and sharp edges. The end result is a breathtaking uniform that all militant arms of the Confederacy - Army, Navy, Special Operations, etc. - are issued upon entry for use in a variety of engagements (in particular - formal events or naval stations.)
