Belt for Bush jacket
Belt for Bush jacket
For summer dress, the Khaki Drill uniform was replaced by a green denim uniform called Bush Dress. Similar to the Khaki Drill jacket, Bush Dress had several significant differences.
Collar: Closed collar - almost always worn open; indeed, intended to be worn with a shirt and tie when used as a parade uniform.
Front Closure: 5 button front. A cloth waist belt was also worn with this uniform in the absence of other types of belts (i.e. if for a parade belt with bayonet and frog was worn, the cloth belt would not be worn).
Pockets: Two breast pockets, box pleated, with scalloped flaps secured by buttons, two flapped bellows-type hip pockets.
Cuffs: Vented cuffs secured by a visible button
Scottish/Highland Pattern: These jackets were intended to be worn with denim bush trousers and not with the kilt
