I was approached a couple of weeks ago and was asked to make a few 18th century Spanish suits, as well as a number of American Naval Uniforms from the era.  Included in this array of military finery:

 
All of these uniforms include what you see in the photos.

 
The sim owner was really happy to see so many uniforms being made, but she lamented the fact that the Spanish Officer Uniform above this one wasn't black and red.  So I made the Nobleman.  I'm a softy.

 
This one isn't strictly 18th century.  It's a bit earlier, having come straight out of the late 1600's, but what are you gonna do?  Those Spaniards were snappy dressers.

 
Here we come to America and its sea-faring Military types.  Uniforms were traditionally reserved for officers.  Cannon Fodder, or what we'd call The Fighting Men, were lucky to have a coat to wear, let alone anything that resembled a uniform.

 
Colorful, aren't they?  You can bet your life that the guys in these uniforms didn't do much of the dirty work.
All of these suits are available at my shop in Burmilla.  You can also find them at the Boston New Harbor.  Simply do a search inworld for "18th Century" and head to New World, or De Majorca.
