Question /Information Re Hussar Officers Patrol Jacket 1881-1902

[mick3272]

Greetings.
Can you help with any information regarding The Hussars Officers Patrol Jacket worn between 1881 - 1902. As shown below.

Was it as the name suggests worn by officers out on patrol. If so would it be just in the UK OR abroad, OR on active service.
Or was it more of a walking out dress ie a No2 dress.

What type of head dress would be worn with it. I note the side cap is shown on this photo, what about a pill box?

Were any side arms carried with this uniform? Or pouch Belts. Sam Brown, etc

Any information will be greatly appreciated


Mick

Thanks Mick

The patrol jacket introduced in 1868 was to be worn in quarters, on leave or in town when not on duty. It was not to be worn with sword belt or sword or on campaign or on peace manoeuvres. As usual, such prohibitions were often ignored.
