BP, do you know what braces/trousers straps they wore and what colour? (assume its 'X' behind and not the 'Y' type?) I'll like to be historically correct here at least

i meant are the redcoats' torsos custom (prints)?
are these napoleonic redcoats? Playmo redcoats' hats seem to place them in early 19th century. here is a pic of napoleonic redcoats uniforms showing grey trousers with white straps. about 1815.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/Wellingtons33rd.jpg)
however, the specific design you have on the coats themselves place them specifically at late 18th century (1789) in which case they would be wearing tricorns also with white straps, but with white trousers. (http://valariebudayr.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54ef83753883301538fa9aea0970b-800wi)
however scottish regiments of 1789 can be seen wearing black straps instead of white.
British uniforms after 1789 do have your colour scheme of red tops and blue bottoms, and they would have black straps for the trousers. however, the coat design is different. Your coat design on the front of those clickies matches specifically the design of the British red coats at the time of the storming of Basille. 1789. So to match, you need white trousers with black shoes (not boots). keep the white straps, and switch out the hats for tricorns.

Great refrence pics BP, the redcoats cheng used in the first pic are noc custom prints, they are customs, as in swap parts customs, but they are not prints. this torso was used mostly on pirates but not with redcoats, which I think its a pity...
-
BP,
Actually, the English had white pants at the time of Waterloo (1815),
But for whatever reason they wore their winter pants (the gray)
Instead of the usual white summer trousers.
And these customs were probably from before we had access to these guys:

And the more period torso.
These could probably work for a fairly close to period torso anyway,
Since they almost seem a combination of both the torsos you have shown us. :)
-
hey BP, I did say;
...(altho not historically accurate)
my napoleonic knowledge is very shallow and i was only interested in them many years back
so, Thanks WoT & WK! spot on! ;)
and WoT/WK, if say a redcoat were to take of their red coats...wold they be wearing some sort of suspenders underneath? (that was what I meant to ask :P and what they look like? I guess I can try to find them in websites by reenactors)
-
I believe they would just have on a shirt...
Suspenders? ???
They are period I believe. :)
-
if they were late 18th century redcoats, they could have a white button-up vest coat underneath. Which is another reason cheng's customs appear to me to have the torsos of an 18th century redcoat more than the 19th, because the coats do not completely button closed, and you can see white peeking out from in-between the coat breasts.
not sure what is under the 19th century redcoats from waterloo.
-
thanks WoT and BP!
so there's no need for 'suspenders' like these ship cannon crews
(I'll be asking the same question again when speedo dad joins the American Civil War ;D )
