In 1782 George, Prince of Wales (later George IV), was appointed Colonel Commandant of the Tenth Light Dragoons, thereafter known as 'The Prince of Wales's Own'. His pride in the Dragoons was such that in 1793 he spent his thirty-first birthday with the regiment, then encamped at Brighton. Although he was forbidden by his father, George III, to bear arms on active service, he channelled his interest into collecting and into the design of military dress and accoutrements. As Colonel Commandant, and later Colonel, of the 10th Light Dragoons, patterns of uniforms and equipment were submitted to the Prince for approval, many of which he retained at Carlton House.The jacket would have been worn en suite with a pelisse, a fur-trimmed loose jacket originally worn by Hussar regiments over the shoulder. After 1805 the 10th Light Dragoons were officially termed Hussars.
