24th Regiment of Foot - Uniform 1777

^{24th Regiment of Foot in North America}

^{One Suite of
Clothing...The uniform of 1777}

^{The recreated 24th has gone to great
research to accurately reconstruct the uniform of the 24th as it was on General
John Burgoyne's campaign to invade America from Canada in the year of 1777.
When ever possible we would cast of the original items as in the waist-belt
plate and the cartridge pouch plate or if this was not possible we would detail
photos, measurements and rubbings of the items to have the item remodeled as in
the regimental coat button. Not every aspect of the 24th's uniform can be
recreated from original artifacts of the 24th as of yet, so we had
to research common items to the 18th century British soldier. The pattern
for the suit of clothing was created from an original soldier coat of the
Guards, The waist-belt is patterned after an original of the 21st who served
along with the 24th in General Burgoyne's campaign as did the 62d in which the
Cartridge pouch is patterned after. Our campaign hat is a interpretation of what
we can see in the Frederick von Germann's watercolor painted on campaign in 1777
as we have yet found a surviving original or a pattern. We have and always
will to strive to be as accurate as possible and as new evidence accrue and
artifacts come know we will keep up with these changes as we did when the 24th
original musket turned out be the Long Land pattern musket.}
