    Peter - As far as I've been able to determine, the Royal Clothing Warrant applied to all Crown forces, regulars or others. From what I've seen in portraits from the post-1768 period, Volunteer and Fencible regiments emulated (for the most part) with what the regulars were doing. Of course, that isn't to say that there might not have been a few maverick regiments that wore red waistcoats or other departures from the 1768 Royal Warrant.
