WW2 Canadian Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Captain’s 4 Pocket Servicedress

This World War II-era Canadian Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Captain’s four-pocket service dress tunic represents the standard uniform worn by officers of this distinguished regiment. Constructed of khaki wool serge, the tunic features four front patch pockets with scalloped flaps and securing buttons, epaulets with Captain’s rank insignia, and tailored cuffs. The internal lining is typically made of cotton or rayon, with a maker’s label or service number sometimes present. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders badges and regimental insignia, including buttons and cloth shoulder titles, are correctly affixed to the uniform as worn by Canadian officers in the second half of the twentieth century. This style of service dress was commonly issued and used by officers during field service, parades, and other formal occasions. It reflects the patterns adopted by the Canadian Army during the Second World War, adhering to British military dress regulations while incorporating specific regimental distinctions.
