Bewdy Cardinal! Shouldn't the Brit ones have Royal Blue facings if they are General Officers? |
| Cardinal Hawkwood | 30 Oct 2011 7:49 p.m. PST |
no not really there was no "proper" generals uniform for brits at this time..if they really were generals they would have their sashes about their waists but this is Foundry we are talking about.. |

though there was a growing tendency to buff waistcoats heavily embroided in sliver or gold and the usual penchant of the mounted set to wear black velvet breeches..Granby, for instance , wore his Blues coat..but is recorded as being in a buff waistcoat, rather than regimental red.. and black breeches |
| Cardinal Hawkwood | 03 Nov 2011 4:43 a.m. PST |
black velvet breeches on the Hessian..Frederick the Great favoured black velvet riding breeches for most of his life.. |

The Austrians French and Spanish were notable for their distinctve Generals uniforms, the Prussians were not, the only way you knew if somebody was a Prussian general was by the feathered border to his hat.. |
looks at a multi-period building.
