Hi I am confused about the colour of the turnback of the 'skirt' of British infantry coats. Some pictures I have seen show them as the same as the normal facing colours of the regiment (i.e. the same as the lapels, cuffs etc.) while others show them as all being white regardless of the facing colour. Grateful for any clarification. Cheers Paul |

It varied. Iirc, buff faced regiments also had buff turnbacks. But many regiments had white, as you said. |

Except for the buff-faced regiments, as doc mcb stated, all other regiments had coats lined white, thus white turnbacks. Lapels and cuffs were in the regimental facing color. Jim |

Hi Many thanks for the replies. Better break out the white paint then……(doh)! Cheers Paul |

The col is correct. The color of the turnbacks officially changed with the new Royal Clothing Warrant of 1768. |
