Grades - 

• Grade 2 / Original Condition - A great project piece to repair, especially given the fairly light prior use previous. There is a small hole section where it appears the jacket has been caught and so some sewing / repair will be needed here. There is also a small mark on the back where a belt would've been worn previously. Snippet cut from the inner hem as is MoD standard when surplusing. Aside from this it is in very nice shape, with minimal marking to the inner lining 
  

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Perhaps the most iconic piece of surplus within the realms of British Army, the world renowned redcoat, with centuries of rich history across the globe is a fantastic piece of militaria. This particular coat is now reserved mainly for the most prestigious ceremonies within the country and the Commonwealth, rather than its more day to day use back in the 1700's when it was first issued to the Prince of Denmark's regiment. 

The tunic is quite simplistic with its practical features, but more than makes up for it with its elegance and decor. The whole piece is made of a high quality wool material with a sateen lining, offering comfort and durability. You'll find each hem piped with an off cream edge, which matches beautifully the contrasting black cuffs, shoulder boards and collar. These black sections also include beautiful embroidery, especially on the collar where the regiments iconography is sewn. You'll also notice several engraved "staybrite" buttons which adds yet another level of flair and panache.
