• Edward VI’s Chronicle is available in book form – try England’s Boy King – the Diary of Edward VI, 1547 – 1553 ed J North, Ravenhall Books, 2005 – or sample his handwriting online via Edward VI’s diary | The British Library (bl.uk) . The original is in the British Library Cotton MS Nero C X, f. 12.
• The Illustrated London News of 2 November 1858 carried an illustration of the new uniform – confusingly titled ‘New Costume for the Yeomen of the Guard’. Various on line providers offer subscription access, and original copies are held in some reference libraries.  Might also prompt you to consider joining the London Library – membership gives on-line access to ILN and the British Newspaper Archives, as well as “real” books!
• If you fancy the official description of the Yeoman Warders full dress uniform, then go to Dress and Insignia worn at His Majesty’s Court. Issued with the authority of the Lord Chamberlain, the 1937 version is online  https://archive.org/details/dressinsigniawor00greauoft/page/162/mode/2up

Reproduction printed versions are available (sadly in B&W) or you can try and find a copy second hand – at a price.  Check the index, but my reproduction 1937 version (thanks Herbert A.P. Trednell)  p.161 deals with the King’s Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (Yeomen), neatly sandwiched between children of His Majesty’s Chapels Royal and His Majesty’s Swan Keeper. YoG Captain and Officers are on p.25.

• The Royal Armouries has in its archives the Right Honourable George, Earl of Northampton’s Tower Journal (23 May 1712 – 7 July 1715). As Queen Anne’s newly appointed Constable of the Tower of London it records the various demands placed upon him as the residents seek to assert their place in the pecking order and safeguard ‘established practices’.

 Page 5 – July 1712 – lists the clothing provided for the Yeoman Warders from the Great Wardrobe:

“Cap & Ribons [sic] – Coat – Breeches – Stockings – Sword – Belt – Gloves – Night Gown”.

Interestingly the sword is seen as a uniform item, and not included with the Arms listed separately as “Carbine & belt – Brace of pistols”. No mention either of any partisan.

The clothing was expected to last a minimum of 2 years and a memo on page 4 notes

“ The Warders had no Cloths as usual on the Queen’s birthday 1711/12 there is a preceedent [sic] of their being allowd 17^s per Man in lieu of their cloaths [sic]when they are worn 2 yeares[sic]”.  For the record Anne’s birthday was 6 February.
