The compendium claims the cavalry kept the brimmed hats until 1705 but does not make clear who and when they used white hats.Dfogleman2 wrote:A review Robert Hall's CD shows that every picture depicting cavalry after 1700 shows a black tricorne. A few show tricornes in the 1690. All of the "round" brimmed hats in the 1690s are black. There a cream colored hats in the 1670s and 1680s.
