Subject: authentic uniform

Can anyone tell me how to tell an authentic uniform from a reproduction? For years my husband said the family has a uniform from the civil war, now we have it and he says it was the spanish american war. I can't find a picture of this one. The only clues we have are that the hat says Wilsons Companion Hat Philadelphia Pa. and the pants have one label saying Wellington Army Duck 2ply warp 2 ply filling Stormking repellent Finish A Wellington fabric The buttons were all off but we found a box with buttons with eagles on them that we are assuming belong to the uniform. The bottom of the pants are laced on each side with a button fly.The jacket has a red collar and a patch on the arms of a red horshoe. There is red material from shoulder to collar to be buttoned. the pocket flaps are red. The covers for the shins are hooks and laces and there are moccasins with what looks like a branch with red tips. There even socks that are black and what look like white. Everything is tan color. Can anyone tell me what we have?
