COLOR GUARD CHANGE OF COMMAND |
|
von Steuben Medal presented to Brett Osborn
UNIFORM INFORMATION
The uniforms accepted by the Virginia SAR Color Guard vary as much as the clothes worn by our patriot ancestors into battle. At first, most wore a Hunting Shirt, and this continued throughout the war. Later, European style uniforms were adopted with different colors for regions, type of unit, and rank. Many times our ancestors went to war in the only clothes that they had. Choose what suits you, the uniform you believe an ancestor wore, a uniform for a local unit, or what suits your fancy. If there is a preference for the Virginia SAR Color Guard it would be a dark blue wool coat, faced in red, with white overalls and short coat. and a black tricorn hat trimmed in white.
The simplest and least expensive option would be a hunting shirt, with a pair of dark trousers (modern trousers can suffice), a pair of leggings (with garters) that cover what would be the buckle on the shoes, and a pair of black leather shoes. Top this with a round hat, and something to tie around your waist, a period leather belt being a good choice. It would be good to have some sort of haversack to carry the items you might otherwise carry in your pockets. You may add quite a lot to this, but this is sufficient to get you into the Color Guard carrying a flag.
