Current issue modern British surplus which is absolutely beautiful. The FAD series of ceremonial dress truly keeps with the timeless style often associated with parade and official duty wear. While the No. 2 dress uniform is slightly more focused on utility and field use than say No. 1 dress, it still commands a proper and dutiful aura. All FAD jackets are made to the highest quality, entirely out of pure wool with a sateen type lining, once soldiers have finished their basic training.

This particular jacket belonged to a member of The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, an infantry division with a rich history which works closely with the King's Division, something shown by the King's Own Royal Border Regiment Glider patch. The previous owner saw a decent bit of active duty, being awarded the Operational Service Medal for Iraq and Syria, as well as the UN South Sudan Medal. Both medals are displayed on the chest's ribbon bar. A lovely touch of the jacket comes from the Lance Corporal rank obtained by the previous owner, which gave them not only the chevron sleeve patches, but also a pair of officer's lions for the jacket's collar. 

The jacket comes with 7 pockets in total, 2 which can be fastened shut on the chest, 2 larger flap hip pockets and then 3 internal pockets for whatever bits and pieces you may have. There are also shoulder epaulettes to fastened ceremonial sashes and or affix rank pips. Belt loops are also included, which help to keep well positioned some of the beautifully vibrant regimental stable belts when worn on parade. A fantastic jacket all around which builds nicely on the older variations of British military dress uniforms.
