Description
This is the uniform of a Lord Lieutenant in the Victorian era. It resembles an Infantry Officer's tunic, with the scarlet colour and black cuffs. I love the embroidery of the Silver Bullion on the cuffs and collar. Brilliant works and detail. The buttons have the crown of Queen Victoria. Thankfully, it fits me nicely. Not to big, not to small. Theres even a little growing space if I need it.

The title Lord Lieutenant is given to the British monarch's personal representatives around the United Kingdom, usually in a county or similar circumscription, with varying tasks throughout history. Usually a retired local notable, senior military officer, peer or business person is given the post honourarily. The office can be considered viceregal and equivalent to that of a Governor-General in another realm of the monarch than the Home Nations. A Lord Lieutenant raised and was responsible for the efficiency of the local militia units of the county, and afterwards of the yeomanry, and volunteers and was Commander of these forces, whose officers he appointed.

There are still Lord Lieutenants today!
