What did the armies wear?

For the better part of three centuries, the British army was personified by its bright red uniforms
and bleached white breeches. Though specific units bore alternative trim colors ranging from green,
yellow, black, and white, the vast majority of infantrymen were clad in the distinctive red coats,
white breeches, gaiters, and black tricorn or fur hat. Grenadier, and light infantry units wore
modified versions of the standard British uniform, with the Cavalry usually wearing green coats.

The American patriots, whether serving in the regular army or with colonial militias, wore a virtual
hodgepodge of uniforms prior to standardization. Beginning the war donning brown uniforms,
George Washington then settled on navy blue jackets accompanied with white breeches, and
tricorn hats for his army. Additionally, regiments from different regions possessed uniforms with
either blue, white, red, or buff facings and trim.
