Both 1st and 2nd regiments were formed in 1794 after battle of Racławice out of all remaining scythemen who stayed with the insurgent army after the battle. Soldiers of the regiments wore rogatywkapeaked caps, navy blue jackets with green revers and czechczery or white broadcloth-made trousers. The units were equipped with 300 rifles and never reached the planned number of soldiers or unitary look of the uniforms.[1][2]
