We at Ujna Universal are dedicated to bringing you authentic reproductions and replicas of the uniforms worn during the American revolutionary war. We have painstakingly collected the fabrics, leathers, buttons etc of the Revolutionary war period to bring you these uniforms. The uniforms of the American Revolutionary war are collected for both the British and the Patriots. The only thing which we have not been able to copy exactly so far has been the caps.

The clothing that the New England Patriots of 1775 wore (at Lexington and Concord and at Bunker Hill came from all walks of life and were simply the ones that were in fashion at that time and also work clothing. Therefore the Patriot clothing shown here is a cross section of what the Patriots wore at that time and also what was worn by the British army at that time.

British Officer’s and enlisted man clothing (the redcoats):

The Redcoat:

The British officer’s and infantrymen have been wearing the Redcoat since 1645 when it was passed into its shape at the time of the Revolutionary war (the American war of Independence) by it’s parliament.
