EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Royal Naval uniform from 1833, showcasing the craftsmanship and elegance of naval attire during the 19th century. The double-breasted waistcoat of a Lieutenant is made of luxurious blue wool with a stand-up collar, exuding authority and sophistication.
The waistcoat features two rows of ten small gilt brass buttons, meticulously fastened to create a polished look. The buttonholes are finished on one side only, indicating that all buttons were meant to be secured for a pristine appearance. Two long pockets lined with brown linen add practicality to this distinguished garment.
Inside, the waistcoat is lined with beige cotton twill fabric for comfort and durability. The stand-up collar, also lined with blue wool, shows traces of dirt from its time at sea, adding character to this historical piece.
With four linen tapes at the back for adjustment, this uniform was not only stylish but also functional for life onboard a naval vessel. This image transports us back in time to an era when attention to detail in clothing was paramount and reflects the pride and tradition associated with serving in the Royal Navy.
