Original Item: Only One Available. No. 1 Dress, or "dress blues", is a ceremonial uniform, worn on only the most formal of occasions and by senior staff officers, aides to the Royal Family, and to the personal staff of senior officers in command. It is not generally issued to all units, with the khaki No. 2 Dress functioning as the main parade uniform.

No. 1 dress originated in the "undress" uniforms ('blue Patrols') worn for semi-formal or ordinary duty occasions in the late 19th century. It was first issued in its current form for the 1937 Coronation, intended as a cheaper alternative to the full dress uniforms that had been generally withdrawn after 1914. It became known as No. 1 Dress in 1947. Army units participating in the 1953 Coronation wore the new uniform as a temporary issue.

For most units, No. 1 dress consists of a peaked cap, caubeen or beret; depending on the regiment, dark blue tunic, trousers, overalls (tight-fitting trousers historically worn by mounted troops), or skirts (worn with tights). Units are distinguished by badges and the colors of the cap, tunic piping, vertical stripes ("welts") on the trousers, and the colour of the collar for certain cavalry regiments. The tunic and trousers of the Royal Gurkha Rifles are rifle green. The Rifles wear a rifle green tunic with black trousers. The Royal Dragoon Guards and the King's Royal Hussars wear dark green and crimson overalls respectively. Cavalry regiments wear shoulder chains in place of shoulder straps. The Royal Regiment of Scotland wears a short jacket called a "doublet", in Archer Green. Prior to amalgamation, Highland regiments wore the doublet with the kilt and sporran while Lowland regiments wore trews, both in the individual regiment's tartan.

In the full ceremonial order of No. 1 Dress, officers wear a waist sash of crimson silk and twisted cord epaulets; while general officers wear a waist sash of gold and crimson stripes. Light cavalry regiments wear a lace cross belt in place of the sash, while Rifle regiments wear a polished black leather crossbelt, as do the Special Air Service and Royal Army Chaplains Department (who have a unique pattern of tunic that features an open step collar instead of a mandarin collar). Other ranks wear a white, buff or black leather belt with a regimental pattern locket, with a bayonet frog if carrying arms.

This lovely WWII era dress blue coat is in wonderful condition and features the lovely chainmail epaulets! Mail was frequently used for the epaulets of military uniforms and it is still used today by the British Territorial Army, and the Royal Canadian Armored Corps of the Canadian Army.

The condition is excellent and all buttons are present and still completely attached to the uniform. There are no unit marks or soldiers’ names written anywhere on the uniform.

Comes more than ready for further research and display.

Terrible!!!!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
My 2 Australian shepards destroyed this cheaply made toy in 20 minutes! It's advertised for tough chewers, lol, the material it was made from is so thin, you could almost see through it. Don't waste your time or money!

My dogs love it
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
I have to say, this is not an indestructible toy. It would have been better made without the squeaker or filling in the head. Once I removed those (after the dogs dug them out) they have played with this and the chicken (by the same company) for months. It's looking a bit ragged and I had to eventually cut the face off since they had chewed into it. However, the ropes have held despite multiple games of tug-of-war. My rat terrier and Moxie mix love these toys. Best ones we've found to last.

Quality Toy
Size: 15", Style: Duck
Fun durable toy for tough chewers. Material is durable and long lasting, however can unravel with extended chewing or pulling. A favorite of our dogs. Easy to throw and toss in a game of fetch.

My grand furbaby loves this yellow duck!
Size: 15", Style: Duck
I bought this yellow duck as a gift for my grand furbaby about 2 years ago. It turned out to be his favorite toy and it lasted for quite some time. So, I have bought several of them and when I go to stay with him in the summer, I take him a brand new yellow duck. He carries it around with him and he loves it! Favorite toy!

My 13lb dog loves these! But tears them up in no time!
Size: 15", Style: Rabbit
I’ve bought many of these, in different styles. My dog knows it as “bunny”, so if you tell him to “go get bunny”, this toy (or one of the other characters we’ve bought) comes back in his mouth. He loves to chase it, play tuggy, and whip his head back and forth with the poor thing. He turns these into threads hanging on to rope in no time. You’d think they would be super durable, but they don’t surprise him very long. I can’t rate higher than a 3 star, because I think they are made well but he’s just really tough on them and I keep buying one version or another because he loves bunny. LOL
