Parade Uniform

The Gold's Dragoons parade uniform is worn on our official parade events. It is an exact copy of the uniform worn on mounted parades in the 1930s. Beige riding britches are worn with plain topped black riding boots. Spurs are optional.
On the collar is a "GD" in gold on the right and a gold rank bar on the left.
A black Sam Browne belt is worn, which rests on the two back button shanks and is worn under the chains on the right shoulder
All buttons are "eagle" pattern.
Appointment badges and award badges are worn as per the mess dress.
Black leather gloves are worn in winter, white cotton gloves in summer.
The regimental hat is worn with a collar dog as the cap badge. The two side buttons are "eagle" pattern.
The parade uniform may also be worn with Black Watch trews, with spurs optional.
The parade uniform may be worn at dinner events instead of mess dress, when appointed "duty officer". Trews are worn at dinner, not riding boots. Spurs are optional with George boots.
According to our records, Gold's Dragoons was the only American unit to wear cavalry chain mail on their shoulders.
