This unit of Continentals I have assigned as being from New York.
Per the 1777 regulations, their dark blue coats have buff facings.
I have given them brown vests and white pants, for no particular reason.
This unit has not applied the (regulation) white lace to their hats.
Note the fifer in reversed colors.
New York's quota for 1777 was 4 regiments (battalions) of Continentals. Interestingly, of all of the 13 Colonies, New York had perhaps the highest percentage of the population with Loyalist sympathies. After evacuating Boston, the British took control of New York City in 1776 following the battles of Brooklyn, Haarlem Heights, etc., and retained control of the city until the end of the War.
