In announcements in the Mobile newspapers, a number of militia companies belonging to the 2nd Reg, AVC, some of which later were regimented in the 21st Alabama Inf, were specified WHITE pants for particular drill meetings. This is most noted in August, 1861. As September came around, GREY pants were specified. No doubt these pants were worn with the dark blue frocks.
