Length does the commanding here: the tailcoat outline extends the figure downward, giving this colonial officer costume its formal bearing before the gold braid registers. Navy supplies the broad field of color, while the trim introduces a more decorative military character. This is a coat around which to assemble an outfit, with the long outer layer doing most of the visual work.
A regimental outline without a named role
The Colonial Military Officer Coat Blue With Gold Trim Regency Tailcoat represents a generic historical officer rather than a particular character. Its reference is an eighteenth-century military figure in a long navy regimental coat. That leaves room to develop your own role for a historical gathering or theatrical scene without having to reproduce a named person's wardrobe.
The colonial and Regency references establish the costume's general direction. For a reenactment with specific dress requirements, compare those requirements with the garment details before choosing it. For an invented officer in a period-inspired production, the same navy-and-gold combination offers a clear starting point for the costume design.
One coat at the center of the order
The Officer Coat costs $90.99, with one coat option offered in XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL and 3XL. The listed material is polyester. This purchase is for the coat only; a shirt, breeches, boots and hat are not included. Those additional pieces need their own place in your costume budget.
Because the coat supplies the largest continuous shape, it makes sense to settle its proportions before choosing the garments beneath it. A shirt changes what appears around the neckline, while breeches and boots determine how the outfit continues below the long coat. Treat those choices as part of the design from the beginning.
Read the length alongside the chest
Coat length changes noticeably across the available range. XS measures 105 cm long, with a 102 cm bust and 46 cm shoulder measurement. At the other end, 3XL measures 120 cm long, with a 139 cm bust and 58 cm shoulders. Choosing by chest alone could overlook a substantial difference in the overall outline.
For a middle reference, M lists a 114 cm bust, 103 cm waist, 110 cm length, 50 cm shoulders and 61 cm sleeves. Compare these garment measurements with a coat you already wear over a shirt. Pay attention to both torso room and where the sleeves and hem would fall on you.
Allow a 1–3 cm variation in the hand measurements. The chart's XXXL corresponds to the orderable 3XL label, so those two labels refer to the same size here.
Build beneath the gold braid
A restrained shirt gives the coat's trim room to remain the main decorative detail. More elaborate accessories can shift the mood toward theatrical ceremony, but the long navy shape remains the anchor. Changing the shirt beneath this single coat lets you reuse its navy-and-gold outline in another historical ensemble.
