Authentic Army Uniform - Nutmeg Canvas

🎖️ **Recreate historical and authentic U.S. Army uniforms**

I redesigned the army uniforms in the game to be closer to their historically authentic appearance. This mod is based on real historical military uniform specifications, bringing a more realistic military experience to "Red Dead Redemption 2".

📜 Historical background

The nutmeg canvas uniform (also known as the brown cotton canvas uniform) had been issued to some soldiers before the Spanish-American War, although not all soldiers were issued this uniform. Khaki uniforms were introduced during the Spanish-American War.

🎖️ Military rank identification system

**Pant leg stripe logo:**

  • Corporal: ½ inch wide stripe

-Sergeant: 1 inch wide stripe

  • Officer: 1½-inch wide stripe

**Military Color Identification:**

  • Artillery: Red
  • Cavalry: lemon yellow (before 1886), later changed to dark yellow
  • Infantry: dark blue (officers are sky blue), changed to white after 1885, then changed back to sky blue in 1902
  • Staff officer: dark blue (1898 khaki uniform period)

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Download the required module files
  • Drag the lml folder into the game directory
  • Done! Enjoy the game

**Game directory location:**

  • Steam version: Library > Right-click on game > Manage > Browse local files
  • Rockstar Launcher Edition: Settings > View installed games > Select game > View installation folder

💡 Tip: If it does not take effect after the first installation, you may need to restart the game

🎮 Usage suggestions

Want to travel the West as an American soldier? It is recommended to use a mod trainer such as Rampage Trainer to switch the player model to mp_male for full movement and weapon aiming functionality. Remember to save the game before proceeding!

**Rampage Trainer users:**

In game open menu > Player > Wardrobe > Model Changer > Search Peds > Enter mp_male and select in human category and you can select all the uniforms I made

Experience a more realistic historical military atmosphere and make your western adventure more immersive!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
