Looking good, can only imagine those uniforms in north African heat…. I guess the rates of disease, sun stroke and heat exhaustion were rather high.

thanks for the feed back. I did wear exactly those kind of uniforms for a week at Malta – including marching in it. And that included a whig. In fact the linen underwear soaked up all sweat and then it evaporated through the layer of wool. I wouldn't say it was comfy – but I did not sweat more than the tourists in shorts and t-shirts and did not get a sunburn either. The French went from their usual European uniform to cotton ones, which prooved too cold (at nights I guess) and then back to the famous Kleber uniforms where a short tunic of wool was worn. Alternativley, don't wear a shirt under the waistcoat.
