The main distinguishing feature of our new sergent’s impression is the lace band around his forearm. The 1779 Reglemente says that his lace should be “a simple silver braid on the forearm,” nothing that to make it stand out more on the white uniform it should be piped in the facing colour. For ours, that means this wonderful silver lace from Hand & Lock contrasts with our violet facings (colour matched to extant examples by Kochan-Phillips Historical Textiles), all put together by Graves Historical Uniforms!
