I know right? I am not going for a "right off the boat" impression, nor a dress uniform, but rather a mid to late war look, which is more suitable for reenactments and educational talks. The slippers are center seam, eastern American Indian moccasins. After they had been in North America for a time, the mocs become standard fare because they worked great in the woods and they were locally available.

The highland broadsword was replaced with a tomahawk for reasons of practicality and the swords went into regimental baggage.

The hose are reserved for parade and Indian leggings are used in the woods. The king's red coat has had leather breast pockets added. One pocket for spare bullets, the other for spare gun flints and a powder horn is carried (can't quite see it in this pic) because while the cartridge box on my belly is more than sufficient for fighting in Europe, is nowhere near enough for a campaign in New York or Canada. Lace is omitted from the coat for a number of reasons. No unit designations such as cuffs are worn due to both economy and the nature of woodland fighting.

I have a Murdoch on order. Need to get a musket, and dirk. Ideally I'll find good used options but I am prepared to order new ones if I find I like this period. So far I've had more fun at two French & Indian events than in 10 years of Civil War reenactment.
