The Queens Royal Hussar jacket



We recently got this amazing Hussar jacket for the shop! James found it on one of his ventures around the world. It is from The Queen's Royal Hussars regiment, witch traces its roots back to 1685. Hussars refer to a type of light cavalry created in Hungary in the 15th century.
Their jackets are legendary, and they keep beeing reinvented.

Here are just a few examples...

Hussars originated in Serbia in the 14th century, do some fact checking next time

Hussars did not originate in Serbia in the 14th century. Hungarian, not Serbian.
