Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic Size 40 Short

This Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic, size 40 Short, is representative of the style worn by British and Canadian infantry units during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The tunic is constructed from red wool, a material favored for its durability and distinctive appearance in military dress uniforms of that period. Key features include a standing collar, brass regimental buttons, and white piping around the collar and cuffs. The interior is partially lined for comfort and includes designated areas for securing shoulder straps. This garment reflects the standard design elements adopted by many Commonwealth forces, particularly for formal and parade occasions. The scarlet color made units easily identifiable and was used widely until khaki service dress became standard issue. This tunic provides insight into the evolution of military uniforms and the shared traditions of British and Canadian forces. Measurements correspond to a chest size of 40 inches and a short length fit.
