Until 1784 all regular regiments of the British cavalry wore red coats, with the notable exception of The Royal Horse Guards (“The Blues”). In that year light dragoons were issued with new uniforms which included dark blue coats. Red coats were also an exclusive feature of British regular infantry until the 1802 dress regulations announced the adoption of dark green by the newly raised rifle regiments.

Prior to 1707, colonels of regiments made their own arrangements for the manufacture of uniforms under their command. This ended when a royal warrant of 16 January 1707 established a Board of General Officers to regulate the clothing of the army. Uniforms supplied were to conform to the “sealed pattern” agreed by the board.The style of the coat tended to follow those worn by other European armies.
