Did the Portuguese change from white to grey breeches/trousers, and if so when? I have seen some plates which show white in 1806 and then grey in 1814. The figures I am painting are the victrix figures in stovepipe shako, so should they be grey or white. I am guessing that the change from barrettina shako to stovepipe shako would have happened alongside other uniform changes but looking to confirm this.
I usually go with a mixture of colours for trousers, so some browns/greys/white for the campaign look but have the majority in the 'regulation colour. I'm still waiting on some ospreys to arrive, but with the christmas post no idea when they will turn up and want to get cracking on these figures.
Thanks
Bill
