Decorative metal buttons and carefully tailored silhouettes also became important elements of formal uniform design.

This blue cavalry frock coat is a modern historical reproduction inspired by those traditions. Its styling makes it particularly suitable for 18th-century-inspired portrayals, while some of its tailoring details also recall later military frock coats.
