The trousers have single yellow stripes, matching the double stripes on the coat cuffs.

The cap is has a wire form, a braid stripe around the hat-band, and a very thin false-leather chinstrap. There are infantry crossed-rifles crudely sewn to the front. The false-leather headband is deteriorating.
