A British general, Charles Cornwallis, stood out in his uniform because of his high rank and position. The uniform of British redcoats during colonial times was a recognizable symbol of the army's power and authority. As a high-ranking officer, Cornwallis wore a more elaborate version of the uniform, showcasing his elevated status.
Our General Cornwallis Costume includes.
⭐ The Base Costume includes:
1. British Army uniform jacket: This is a formal military jacket worn by soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. It is made of a red gaberdine fabric and features contrasting navy lapels, facings, and whitetails. The jacket has silver buttons that are not pre-attached and must be attached using hitch pin clips, which are included. They are removable, with interchangeable buttons for easy adjustments and a more authentic look.
2. White backless military vest: This vest is made of white fabric and is designed to be worn under the uniform jacket. It has an attached lace dickey (jabot) at the neckline and is secured in the back with Velcro and laces and features attached gold buttons.
