Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic Size 42 Regular

The Canadian British Infantry Scarlet Wool Tunic, Size 42 Regular, is a military uniform garment modeled after British forces’ standard dress of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Constructed from scarlet red wool, this tunic features dark blue facings and white piping, typical of British and Commonwealth infantry regiments of the period. The tunic is designed with a stand collar, brass regimental buttons, and reinforced shoulder straps. It includes hook-and-eye fastenings at the collar and internal lining for structure and comfort. This style of tunic was widely used by Canadian forces during ceremonial occasions, parades, and formal military functions, reflecting the British military tradition within Canada. The size is specified as 42 Regular, suiting a chest measurement of approximately 42 inches. This item is representative of military dress uniforms prior to widespread adoption of khaki service dress, and is primarily of interest to collectors of Canadian or British Empire militaria.
