 ARTILLERY DRESS JACKET. Diagrams 110 and 111.

This is another variation of the tunic and is worn by Artillery Officers.

It is cut with a short pointed back sharply curved up over the hips and finished without skirts.

The fronts, backs and sleeves are elaborately trimmed, full details and illustrations of which will be found published in the Dress Regulations of the Army.

The cutting of this is, to all intents and purposes, the same as the tunic, with the exception that the back is cut narrower at waist and more hollowed.

The back is cut on the crease, 14 inches wide at waist.

The sideseam is hollowed 2 inches from a line drawn from the top of the sideseam to 16.

The length of the back is 3½ below the natural waist.

The sides 1½ inches, and the fronts 4 inches, below the waist line.

It is made to hook and eye up the front and fastens with ball buttons and loops of braid.

Diagram 111 shows how the hind arm seam of sleeve is adjusted to get a run with the sideseam.
