Right on, Rapaire. You are absolutely correct in supplying those additional colorful details about the Revolutionary War. Kind of like the Civil War...there were a bewildering variety of different uniforms worn on both sides in that one too, the most garish being those that belonged to the Zouaves (both Yankee and Confederate versions).

I think what finally beat the British was not their uniforms or their tactics, but a number of much more significant political, psychological, and social factors...we've talked about it a good deal on other threads in the past.
