Russian Imperial Medals, Orders, Uniforms & Militaria / Uniform of the nobility?
« on: September 15, 2008, 11:00:25 PM »
In his book, "The Court of the Last Tsar," Greg King briefly mentions a "uniform of the nobility." He describes it, basically, as the uniform that a man would wear at court if he did not belong to a regiment or qualify for a civil uniform. In other words, if I understand correctly, it was the equivalent of a Western court dress uniform.
I would be grateful if someone could post a photo or illustration of how this "uniform of the nobility" would have looked. Google and the search function on this forum have failed to help.
