Description: | Undress coat of a Captain over three years seniority. This coat, with its straight waist, is of a more fashionable cut than Captain Hoods full dress coat. This may be because there was more latitude in undress to include fashionable elements, or it may be because the coat was made later during this period of regulations. The coat has a heavy tweed interlining, which would have provided added warmth. Although it is a fashionable cut, it should be noted that the uniform coats retain the three-pointed pocket flaps of the mid-18th century.
See SNR Report 1932 p.94.
