 Patrol Jacket, c. 1900

 

The Patrol Jacket was an undress uniform that developed in the mid-nineteenth century. It was first introduced to the Royal Artillery in 1864. A second pattern was adopted in 1874, which remained in service until discontinued by the Royal Artillery in 1902.

 

The artillery pattern patrol jacket featured a stand-and-fall collar edged all round with black mohair lace. Five plaits of mohair braid were worn down the front, each terminating with olivets and crow’s feet.
