The Canadian British Infantry Scarlett Wool Tunic Size 38 Short is a military uniform jacket characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century British and Commonwealth forces. Made from scarlet wool, this tunic features the distinct bright red color traditionally associated with British infantry uniforms. The design includes stand-up collars, brass buttons, and white facings, reflecting the period’s standard patterns used for parade and formal duties. This specific tunic is marked as size 38 short, indicating a chest measurement suitable for approximately a 38-inch chest and a shorter torso length. Such tunics were typically worn by enlisted ranks and sometimes by officers in less formal contexts. The construction and detailing are representative of military tailoring from this era. This piece is relevant for collectors and researchers interested in Canadian military dress and the shared traditions between Canadian and British infantry regiments. The garment’s materials and features illustrate the standard issue uniforms prior to the widespread adoption of khaki service dress.
