I wouldn't say that. A Tricorne comes in so many different sizes over the time of it's existence that I think IMHO they may be right as you sculpted it.Clibinarium wrote:I think the tricorn may be too big?
Looks OK to me. Not sure about the cuffs having buttons, though.Clibinarium wrote:I think the tricorn may be too big?
None of the images in "Great Northern War 1700 - 1721. Colours and Uniforms" By Lars-Eric Höglund and Åke Sallnäs show buttons on cuffs of either infantry or cavalry. Also, if you look at the many posts by PNorberg in this forum most if not all images show no cuffs. I have seen a photo of a full-sized model infantryman with cuffs, but it is the only one I have seen. Also the cuffs appear to have been smaller than those of other armies.Clibinarium wrote:That's interesting Dan, I didn't pick that up from the material I was using (possibly because the cuffs are often covered by gloves). Can you expand on this?
It may be possible that the swedes did this like the Saxons with their Kollers.Clibinarium wrote:After a quick googling, it looks like you are right; no buttons on the cuffs of either foot or horse. I guess I just assumed they were there, since that's how the cuff is held down usually. (I take it the Swedes must have sewed theirs down? )
In the following;

Do you mean "buttons" in place of "cuffs"? All the coats seem to have cuffs.
I think you can cover up the whole cuff with the gloves if you want to be on the safe side, Charles certainly seem to like them that wayClibinarium wrote:(possibly because the cuffs are often covered by gloves)
