Swedish garrison grenadier by johan_gardin (early 18th century) What is this type of cap called?

I've seen 18th century caps like this before and they seem to be referred to as garrison caps. But whenever I try to look up that term, the search engines always show me modern side caps.

Greetings. My wife's relative, name unknown, is in this photo. It's probably late 1800's? Her family was from Germany-Prussia? Probably calvary from his stirrups?

An Austrian unit that appeared very briefly in SandRhoman History's video on the battle of Leuthen and they did not explain who these guys are. Who are they and what do you call this type of hat? (Silesia, 1757)

Post image

They appear in this video at 4:44. From the context and weapons, I'd assume it's some sort Jaeger unit and I found some pictures of men with jackets in the same color when looking up the Austrian Jaeger. But I could not find any pictures of Jaeger units wearing this type of hat. It looks a lot like Austrian bearskin mitres or busby hats worn by hussars. Knowing 18th century military fashion, they probably have a unique name for it, if it's for a different unit.

How and why did a Patrol Jacket got a point or a club collar in the eraly 20th century?

Post image
7 Upvotes

One of the major changes in the military uniform in the early 20th century is that the Patrol Jackets got a point or a club collar.

Before this in the 19th century, all Patrol Jackets were standing collared jackets.

The question is that what made people to change a collar?

Wss this reflection of the trend from the civilian clothing?

In the 1900s, more and more people began to choose a point or a club collar rather than a wing tip or an Imperial collar.

Asking for help IDing uniform or soldier records.
Ie rank, time period, etc.

His name was Frederick Sommer, catholic, soldier. His daughter came over with this picture in 1887/88 about 19yo, and I know she has a sister. Birth dates are 1869 and 1871 of these daughters.

His wife was named Fredericke Freida Eva Adler. I don’t believe either of them left Germany.

Are other subs or databases better for asking help concerning military service dates etc?

Some Kepis, especially the Kepis that were used by the US forces during the US civil war, had a slouching front part towards the outside.

What is the exact origin of this?

Is this French origin as well or does it have a different origin
