Windsor uniform
A Windsor uniform is a black and gold uniform worn on ceremonial occasions mostly by British colonial officials.
The uniform was created by King George III in 1777 for members of his royal court. It consists of a black button-down high-collar jacket with leafy golden embroidery on the chest, black breeches, and a cocked hat with white plumes.
The uniform was worn mainly by governors and other colonial officials within the British Empire. In the 20th century it became popular among the Governors General, Lieutenant governors, ambassadors, and even Prime Ministers of Commonwealth Realm countries. Today it is rarely seen.
