This particular jacket from the British army would've been worn by a Warrant Officer on ceremonial duties, or for parade events. No. 1 dress is the highest level of dress uniform most soldiers will wear, and is earned after a good few years in the army, with each part of the uniform being tailor made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor features, it is quite a simple jacket, made from 100% wool. There's 4 pockets in total, 2 flap and 2 buttonable flap pockets, arranged in the typical \"safari\" style, with 2 on the hips and 2 on the chest. The collar is mandarin style, being closed with 2 hook \u0026amp; eyes. On the shoulders you'll find shoulder epaulettes, usually designed to secure ribbons and other sashes during ceremonial events. For the colour, it is a very dark navy blue, bordering on black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall great for a collector, especially given the niche branch, or reenactor, but also for costumes and reworking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- - - - - - -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLooking for more British Items?
