Galloping major provincials

[HerbyF]

I do believe that browns & greens were a lot more common than blue for provincials. Red was even used more than blue. Blue really came into fashion with the continentals during the revolution. Even then many of the state and millitias wore browns & greens. Hunting shirts were popular.

Still a bit vague   (that's why they're still available to pre-order   the deals will change when the pre-orders are ready).

Beware the hunting shirt, I may do some militia in them later, but it will be the hunting shirt of the period, not the later fringed item often depicted for the AWI although frequently questioned recently even for that period.

Nice painting!

Nice miniatures as well 

A book which was recommended to me and that I have found useful is 'REDCOATS, YANKEES AND ALLIES - A History of the Uniforms, Clothing, and Gear of the British Army in the Lake George  - Lake Champlain Corridor 1755 - 1760' by Brenton C Kremmer and illustrated by Joe Lee.

The illustrations are plain line drawings, not colour plates like those by Osprey, but the information provided is very informative.

All the best,

Barry
