• Grade 2 / Original Condition - For the most part in lovely shape, but there's a small hole near the left chest pocket and a bit of a snag by the back belt hook as photographed. No shoulder epaulettes or rank patches as these have been removed by the previous owner. General wear on the collar, but aside from this it is in good condition and certainly up for more.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Beautiful elegant ceremonial dress from the British Army. 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.

For 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 & 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.

Overall great for a collector, especially given the niche branch, or reenactor, but also for costumes and reworking.
