Fitted with brass Kings Crown General Service buttons. These have extra long sleeves that will require some tailor fitting on most people. Tailoring of the body will also give a more proper "regimental" appearance.
What period is this tunic a reproduction of?
This tunic is a reproduction of the 1902 Pattern Tropical Service Dress. It was worn during WWI and well into WWII. The pattern is a hybrid of British and Indian-made KD Tunics.
What material is the tunic made from?
The tunic is made from khaki cotton. It is described as thick, strong, and durable. The material is lighter than a wool version of this jacket.
What are the care instructions for this tunic?
There are no specific laundering instructions provided for the tunic. As it is 100% cotton, some choose to dry clean it to prevent shrinkage. Others have washed and dried it, noting that the sleeves "shrunk" nicely.
What is the historical accuracy of this reproduction?
This reproduction is generally a post-WW1 pattern tunic, not strictly the original British 1902 Pattern. It is a hybrid between British and Indian-made KD Tunics. For strict WW1 use, the colour would be more orangey brown, the cut would be the same as SD (Rear panels) and it would have two darts under the collar unless it was the British S.
