Sealed Pattern of Lace

The 10th Hussars were required to submit their lace patterns for approval in the 1890s despite the fact that they had been wearing the lace for several years previously. This pattern, called wave and stand, was sealed and approved by the Adjutant General on 23 Dec 1896. The top piece of lace, three-quarters of an inch wide, was to be sewn along the top edge of the dress tunic collar. Next is the chain gimp used for the six loops across the chest and other decoration. The slim gold braid was used to trace the figuring on the collar, cuffs and back seams. The thick gold cord was for the decoration on the stable jacket. The lower 4 rows of lace were for: the stripes down the trousers and breeches, the forage cap, the slings for the sword, and the slings for the sabretache.
