Victorian Hussar Officer Dolman Jacket

The centerpiece of this historical uniform is the Victorian Hussar Officer Dolman, a beautifully decorated military jacket inspired by the full-dress garments worn by British cavalry officers in the late 19th century.

Tailored from dark navy blue wool, the dolman features multiple horizontal rows of elaborate gold cord frogging across the front. These carefully arranged decorative braids are complemented by gold-colored military buttons and intricate ornamental loopwork.

The jacket's structured silhouette, high-standing collar, and richly embroidered cuffs create the commanding appearance associated with Victorian Hussar officers.

Elaborate Gold Frogging & Military Detailing

One of the most distinctive features of the Victorian Hussar Dolman Jacket is its intricate gold military braiding.

Numerous rows of gold cord extend across the chest, forming symmetrical decorative patterns with ornamental loops and traditional military-style buttons.

The stand-up collar is finished with decorative gold lace, while the Hungarian-style cuffs feature elaborate gold knotwork and traditional military embroidery.

Additional gold braid detailing along the jacket's front edges, lower hem, and back enhances its distinguished ceremonial appearance.

Matching Victorian Hussar Officer Trousers

Complete the traditional cavalry uniform with matching Victorian Hussar Officer Trousers, also historically known as cavalry overalls.

Inspired by British Hussar officer trousers from approximately 1880–1902, these military trousers feature a high-waisted silhouette and a traditional cavalry-inspired cut.

Crafted from dark navy blue doeskin wool fabric, the trousers complement the richly decorated dolman jacket while maintaining the refined appearance of historical military dress.

Two parallel gold lace stripes run along each outer leg seam, creating the distinctive decorative appearance associated with Victorian cavalry uniforms.

Traditional Cavalry Trouser Construction

The trousers feature a high-waisted military cut designed to reflect traditional Victorian cavalry tailoring.

A classic button fly and brace buttons complement the historical styling, while reinforced seat and inner-leg construction reflect the practical requirements of period mounted uniforms.

The gold side stripes measure approximately 1/2 inch each, separated by a 1/4-inch gap, creating a balanced and elegant decorative finish.

Designed to coordinate with the matching Hussar dolman, these trousers can be styled with traditional cavalry footwear, including tall riding boots.
