“My turn-out was unexceptionable; men copied my running-shoes; my jacket and trowsers were an admiration; my bat perfection; I was the very picture of a cricketer, but, alas! very little more than a picture.”

“The best fighting costume is mere shirt and trowsers, and in this costume the best fighting of modern days has been done. […] Light limp caps of woollen, with brood visors, or broad-brimmed (but not too broad,) felt hats; double-breasted coats, so made that they can be worn open in warm weather, and will really protect the chest in a lower temperature; trowsers of the same, and under these, light flannel shirts and drawers; such are the proper materials for a soldier’s dress, even in the Summer months.”
