• Grade 2 - Quite a few signs of previous use and in need of some TLC. Collar pips were removed by the previous owner. There are noticeable markings across the jacket from lighter patches to redder sections which I believe were gained during the surplusing process. There is a button missing from one of the shoulder epaulettes. Internally the cuff lining is tattered on both sleeves as see in photos. Finally there is a small hole on the top of the right sleeve. Price reflects these issues.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

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 Gunners, better known as The Royal Artillery Regiment, a fine regiment with a rich history spanning back over 300 years. The previous owner served fairly recently, receiving the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal.

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.
