| Fox reportedly (George M. Wrong, '''George Washington and His Comrades in Arms''', 1921) wore the colors buff and blue to show sympathy with the American cause during the American revoution, as they were the colors of George Washington's uniform. He was imitated by others in his party. Wrong states:

| <blockquote>
| |
| ''The ladies, in their rage for Mr. Fox, have adopted a dress in''
| |
| '' compliment to him; it is to consist of a mixture of garter-blue''
| |
| '' and buff. These colors will be diversified according to the taste''
| |
| '' of the wearer: the body-part of some will be of blue, in the''
| |
| '' Mariborough stile, with a train of buff. Some will consist of a''
| |
| '' blue gown with a buff petticoat; and others be in entire buff,''
| |
| '' with blue ribbons.''

| ''Source for notated version:'' The music manuscript collection of ship's fiddler William Litten, compiled 1800-1802, apparently while Litten was stationed aboard a vessel of the East India Fleet. The manuscript was brought to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, after it had come into the hands of Allen Coffin of Edgartown, although how it came into his possession, and the fate of Litten are unknown.
