6th Regiment Horse Hunters Jacket – Dark Green Napoleonic Hussar Dolman

Experience the distinguished elegance of Napoleonic military fashion with our 6th Regiment Horse Hunters Jacket. Inspired by the elaborate uniforms of European light cavalry regiments during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this historical Hussar jacket combines rich dark green wool, intricate military frogging, decorative silver-colored buttons, and an elegantly tailored silhouette.

Designed in the tradition of historical cavalry dolmans, this dark green Napoleonic Hussar jacket features elaborate horizontal chest braiding, a structured stand-up collar, and exceptionally detailed ornamental sleeve designs. Its military-inspired construction captures the dramatic character of cavalry uniforms associated with the Napoleonic era, making it an excellent addition to historical wardrobes and reenactment collections.

Inspired by the 6th Regiment Horse Hunters

Drawing inspiration from the uniforms of the 6th Regiment of Horse Hunters, this military jacket reflects the decorative traditions of mounted light cavalry during the Napoleonic period, approximately 1790–1815.

Historically inspired Hussar dolmans were distinguished by their fitted construction, short waist-length cut, decorative cordwork, and closely arranged military buttons. These distinctive elements created a recognizable cavalry silhouette while emphasizing the elaborate appearance of military dress.

Our 6th Regiment Horse Hunters Dolman recreates this commanding style with a richly decorated front, carefully structured shoulders, and intricate braided patterns extending across the sleeves.

Premium Dark Green Wool Construction

Crafted from 100% wool melton fabric, this historical military jacket offers the substantial feel and refined texture associated with traditional wool cavalry garments.

The deep dark green exterior creates a distinguished appearance while providing an elegant contrast against the metallic decorative braiding and polished silver-colored buttons.

Its structured wool construction helps maintain the traditional fitted silhouette, making the jacket suitable for historical reenactments, theatrical productions, ceremonial displays, and military-inspired fashion.

Elaborate Military Frogging & Silver Buttons

One of the most distinctive features of this Napoleonic Horse Hunters Jacket is its elaborate decorative front frogging.

Multiple horizontal rows of carefully arranged military braid extend across the chest, forming a symmetrical pattern inspired by traditional Hussar uniforms.

The braided detailing is complemented by silver-colored rounded metal buttons positioned along the front and outer edges of the decorative cordwork.

Traditional looped braid details and ornamental finishing near the lower front create a rich, military-inspired appearance that highlights the jacket's historical character.

Intricate Braided Sleeves & Military Collar

The sleeves feature exceptionally detailed metallic gold-toned decorative cordwork, arranged in elaborate intertwined patterns inspired by traditional cavalry embroidery.

Large ornamental loops, circular knotwork, and flowing braided lines extend along the sleeves, creating a distinctive design that complements the decorated chest.

The jacket also features a high-standing military collar with decorative braid detailing, reinforcing its structured historical silhouette.

Coordinated braiding along the hem and shoulder areas completes the jacket's striking Napoleonic-inspired appearance.

Traditional Tailored Hussar Silhouette

Designed with a structured, fitted cut, this historical military dolman emphasizes the distinctive proportions associated with traditional Hussar cavalry uniforms.

The fitted torso, defined waist, and short military-style length create an elegant appearance suitable for pairing with historical cavalry trousers, breeches, and period military accessories.

The jacket is designed to maintain its structured profile while allowing comfortable movement when properly sized.
