Being a uniform and flag design service to wargamers and to the imaginary crowned heads of 17th and 18th Century Europe, especially of the Seven Years War period - now By Appointment to the Court of Saxe-Bearstein! (But please note that the uniforms and flags presented here are not fictional - they are genuine 17th and 18th Century uniforms and flags that are as authentic as I can make them from my sources.)
Sir Davis, A simple yet effect uniform, reminds me of the Russian summer uniform...
ReplyDeleteRed! The French wore red for their summer uniform! The world must be coming to an end - now I can have red Russians, red French, and red British. Thank you, kind sir. :^)

Hi Bill,
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, the red variant is very like. :-)
Thanks for commenting.
All the best,

Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteThey had red, white *and* blue, according to the waistcoat (veste) colour, as my notes will show when I get round to doing them. (Shades of the later tricolour, possibly? ;-)) :-) As far as I can tell, in Europe the French still tended to wear the grey-white justaucorps and this wearing of the veste only was confined to the colonies.
Thanks for commenting.
Cheers,
