Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic Size 38 Long

The Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic, Size 38 Long, is a period military garment representative of late 19th to early 20th-century British and Canadian Army uniforms. Constructed from robust scarlet wool, this tunic features a standing collar and white facings at the cuffs and front closure, which are characteristic of British line infantry attire. The garment typically includes brass or silver regimental buttons, shoulder straps, and other period-appropriate insignia, though specific details may vary depending on regimental designation and era of issue. The scarlet color, long associated with British imperial forces, was both a practical and symbolic choice denoting unit cohesion and serving ceremonial functions. This tunic is sized as a “38 Long,” reflecting chest circumference and extended body length, suitable for taller wearers. Such items are valued for their historical connections to Canadian and British military heritage and are sought after for reference, study, or display in military collections.
