Household Cavalry White Pantaloons (Breeches)

Pantaloons (or Buff Breeches) were originally buff, and coloured with ochre.
The change to white came in 1812. The Blues wore a variety of colours, even
red from 1763, but changed to buff leather, ochre-coloured, in 1788.
They changed to white with The Life Guards in 1812.
