Adam Ant

Not 'really' a music question but hopefully somebody will know the answer.
What is the correct name for the black jacket, the one with the gold tassle things that run horizontal down the front of the garment that he used to wear.

I`ve search for military jacket and the likes but i`m sure there must be a correct name for it.

Cheers

Yeh BOO its pretty similar to that one. You don`t know what the correct name for it do you???

[kempie]

Not certain but I would describe it as a Hussar Jacket.

No, I didn't know, but kempie is correct, it's a Hussar Jacket.

Hello,

The type of jacket Adam Ant wears is called a Hussars jacket. It was used in European military uniforms of the 16th or 17th centuries? Not entirely sure on the dates. I think his is specifically a French Hussar jacket.

Hope this helps!
