It’s very historically accurate, something that Bernard Cornwell strives for in his books! (If no one has read the book series I do highly recommend it.) Basically, the British at the time were supposed to wear white canvas trousers, but when they wore out they bought local cloth to make new ones so they called them Portuguese Brown.
