Busby bags and plumes were in the unique colour of Lincoln green. Battle honours won by the previous 18th Hussars, disbanded in 1821, were restored and displayed on the gold braided pouch belts and sabretaches (ornamental pouches) of the officers. In 1878 the green facings were replaced by blue bags and white plumes which had distinguished the original 18th Hussars. The horse furniture of officers included red and white throat plumes and leopardskins under the saddle. Khaki service dress was adopted in 1902 but the colourful and expensive dress described above was retained for full dress until the outbreak of war in 1914.
