Spahis soldiers should have white pants and gaitres as in your source picture.
Colour of pants in uniforms were that same important as jackets, waistcoat and hats.

I read somewhere when the Spanish ran out of white cloth, they wore brown pants.

The regulation uniform was white breeches but many units are shown fron this period and during the Napoleonic wars with brown replacements, as brown cloth was more available .especially on campaign. Even British troops in Spain are shown in many prints wearing brown replacement uniforms.

I read somewhere when the Spanish ran out of white cloth, they wore brown pants.

''I read somewhere'' that in 18th century regiments have statutes. Statutes were law of all soldiers - they wore that same uniforms in regiment's statute. So all soldiers in one regiment wore 10 yellow buttoms, in other 11 sil ver buttoms etc.

If you would like me to, zambrotta69 i will do another Spanish line with white breaches. If you would then could you find me a pic to work from.

As this site shows regulation was one thing.what was actually worn after some time on campaign was another. Note the reference to' tela de color pardo' ,brown cloth.

Of course white was regulation but in the Spanish army particularly many different non regulation styles appeared.

If you look at the Kronoskaf site some regiments had different coloured waistcoats,collars,lapels,turnbacks,cuffs. Not all white for every regiment.

[Godless Pickle]

Nice! +rep

[StalinCore]

Could you delete red facings from French uniforms? they have only one French regiment in Seven Years War (red facings as your is Saint-Chamound regiment). Three regiments have black facings, other without (only hands or waistcoat, pants).

I hope that these plates will be usefull for you There are many differents between regiments (colour of facings, buttoms, end of hats, pants etc.)

@Jihada I'll do blue (or banana yellow *evil laugh*)

@StalinCore Sure, maybe i'll do a black one (thank you for the plates +rep)

@Godless Pickle Thank you very much

[Jihada]

Yeah more banana yellow please.CA got it right the first time !

[tiyafeh]

Why not do the Spanish in all yellow, as much luminosity as possible, easier for we British to target on the battlefield you see lol

zambrotta69, apart from that, could the kind gentlemen possibly point me in the right direction for Spanish drummer uniforms from this period please?
Thanks in advance!

If you're doing French the coat was slightly greyer than the Spanish white coat btw. CA could have made that the difference if they'd done a bit of research.
