Blues & Royals Ceremonial Cloak
A Blues and Royals (Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, Royal Horse Guards & 1st Dragoons) ceremonial cloak/coat, worn by other ranks during winter/inclement weather on ceremonial/public duties. A lined thick wool coat with red wool collar fastened with metal hooks. Staybrite RHG/D buttons. Some have a half-belt which allows coat to be "drawn in" at rear when dismounted.

These are all "Grade1" - not perfect (and not good enough to be "in-service" condition) but in good wearble condition for other uses. Expect light fading of the black (usually this wouldn't be noticeable unless compared alongside a much newer coat), signs of use (usually slight/light "ironing" marks and minor wear around collars) and often button stitching will have been strained/stretched and sometimes a few extra stitches may be advisable to strengthen. There will be no major wear/marks/damage/repairs etc externally unless specficially mentioned.

See below for details of individual coats. NOTE Chest width is measured WITHOUT the belt attached.:
