I am following and playing this mod for a while and I love your work.
First things first: Nice try to make these Infantry Uniforms for the K. K. Army (Austria).
But!: This Uniform what you made, like in this picture is MORE OR LESS an Uniform from 1836/7, so in short it's inaccurate. I don't know how this wrong information came around but I think it has to do with many artists in our history and today who made these mistakes aswell.
How does the coat really look like:
The Epaulette has standard white outlines and the inside is filled with regimental lace color. And this thing under the button is not round, it's more like an triangle.
Here for example from our Reenactment (the farest right has the wrong uniform but the correct epaulette):
Up.picr.de
This also goes for Cavalry, Artillery, Landwehr etc. if it comes to Epaulette and this triangle-thing.
Also the same for Great Coats. Epaulette has the outline color that has the material, like grey or brown (depends what color the Great Coat has) and filled inside with regimental lace color.
I hope it helps you alot and maybe this mistake will be fixed someday.
We also made mistakes in our Reenactment :).
So it's actually only about the coat.
With all respect and happiness
