CLOAKS AND GREAT COATS.

. The uniform cloaks and great coats of the Royal Navy
are to be blue, 'lined (when lined) with blue or white.
Officers when en leave in the neighbourhood of their
ships, or on• such duties as in the opinions of their im-
mediate Commanding Officers, or of the Senior Officer on
the spot, do not require them to appear in the re-
gular uniforms above described, may, wear in lieu thereof, a
short blue single breasted great coat, with a stand-up
collar ; Mates and Midshipmen wearing such coats, are to be
distinguished by one row of gold twist on each cuff; Lieu-
tenants, by one row of gold lace, a quarter of an inch
wide, on each•cuff; Commanders, by two rows of such lace
on each cuff; and Captains, by thfee rows of such lace on
each' cuff.

If Flag Officers shall, under similar circumstances, ,think
proper to wear great coats of the same description in lieu
of the proper uniform, they are to wear their proper epau-
lettes upon it.
All great coats to have the appropriate button of the
rank of the respectiye Officers.
All Officers may wear in undress at sea, a round
jacket without skirts, with their appropriate buttons
and a round black hat, with a narrow
.black silk band
and a black buckle, and a black silk or leather cockade,
with a loop of the same material and half the width of the
lace of their respective coats, or if they have no:lace on
their coats, of black silk ribbon (except Midshipmen, Masj-
ters Assistants, and Volunteers, whir are to have a: loop of
gold twist, as before stated) ; or a blue cloth cap, with a band
round it, of half the width and material of the Wee of their
coats. Officers who have no lace to their coats, who
now wear gold bands, may have a band of gold lace, half
an inch wide, round their caps; other Officers are to wear
such bands as at present.
Patterns or drawings of each of the before.;men-
timed articles of dress are to be seen at this Office,
and at the Office of each Port Admiral; and his
Royal Highness directs, that no article shall, after
this date, be made of any other pattern. Articles
which have been already made of a different pattern
from the foregoing, may, however, be worn till the
Ist of January, 1829, after which no- deviation what-
soever from the establishment will be permitted.
