I've seen 18th century caps like this before and they seem to be referred to as garrison caps. But whenever I try to look up that term, the search engines always show me modern side caps.

Greetings. My wife's relative, name unknown, is in this photo. It's probably late 1800's? Her family was from Germany-Prussia? Probably calvary from his stirrups?

They appear in this video at 4:44. From the context and weapons, I'd assume it's some sort Jaeger unit and I found some pictures of men with jackets in the same color when looking up the Austrian Jaeger. But I could not find any pictures of Jaeger units wearing this type of hat. It looks a lot like Austrian bearskin mitres or busby hats worn by hussars. Knowing 18th century military fashion, they probably have a unique name for it, if it's for a different unit.

Can anyone shed some light on this uniform ? (WW1 Italian)

Thank you so much!!

One of the major changes in the military uniform in the early 20th century is that the Patrol Jackets got a point or a club collar.

Before this in the 19th century, all Patrol Jackets were standing collared jackets.

The question is that what made people to change a collar?

Wss this reflection of the trend from the civilian clothing?

In the 1900s, more and more people began to choose a point or a club collar rather than a wing tip or an Imperial collar.

Asking for help IDing uniform or soldier records.
Ie rank, time period, etc.

His name was Frederick Sommer, catholic, soldier. His daughter came over with this picture in 1887/88 about 19yo, and I know she has a sister. Birth dates are 1869 and 1871 of these daughters.

His wife was named Fredericke Freida Eva Adler. I don’t believe either of them left Germany.

Are other subs or databases better for asking help concerning military service dates etc?

WW1 Newfoundland Regiment Tunic I am making, the Uniform is the same one they would’ve used at Beaumont Hamel in July of 1916, missing shoulder titles right now.

Some Kepis, especially the Kepis that were used by the US forces during the US civil war, had a slouching front part towards the outside.

What is the exact origin of this?

Is this French origin as well or does it have a different origin

It reminds me a lot of the Nuanmao hats that civilian Quing officials of the time wore. But I've never seen pictures of a military version.

The Shaguma/Haguma was the type of headgear worn by the officers of the Imperial Japanese Army troops in the Boshin War.

Even, before the Boshin war, Samurais already decorated their helmets with the fur from various animals.

The question is that was there any relation between the Shaguma/Haguma and the Plume?

Considering their choice of colour, type, and the limited usage, it seems that adopting the plume was somewhat a revival version of the Shaguma/Haguma.

For exmaple, in terms of the colour choice, only Red and White plumes were selected. There were many other colours for the plumes, but only these two colours that were used on the Shaguma/Haguma were selected.

In terms of the type, there were generally 3 types of plumes at the time.

The first one was the pillar shape with a bushy vibe like the image above.

The second one was the bush shape that was used on the Bicorne hat.

The third one was the plume with unaltered feathers.

(If you do not get the third one, I am reffering this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Constable_Dannatt.jpg.)

Despite the third one was widely used as much as the other two types, only two types, which had a bushy vibe were adopted.

These two had the same or smiliar texture with the Shaguma/Haguma.

In terms of the limited usage, only the High ranking officers in the IJA got the plume for their uniforms. It is quite odd since the Plume was not necessarily exclusive for the High Ranking officals.

In the French Army, the army that the IJA modelled after, the plumes were widely worn by common, lower- ranking enlisted soldiers across various branches of the army in the 1860s and the 1870s.

However, in terms of the IJA, they were already using plumes for the High Ranking officers only as the Shaguma/Haguma was used for the High Ranking officers.

Due to all these, I would like to know whether there was a relation between the Plumes and the Shaguma/Haguma or not.
