Favourite Cat Outfits 3/10

Imitation of a Regency period British light infantry officer's uniform. It is a red coat with a stiff yellow collar and cuffs, white trim, a gold and red tasseled sash around the waist, gold epaulettes, and cream trousers. A tan cape with a fur collar hangs off his right shoulder and he wears black and brown knee-length cuffed boots. He carries a black helmet with him, embellished with a braided gold band, pale horse hair, and a metallic head badge. His hair is done in an early-Georgian style updo that towers above his head with a small ponytail at the back tied with ribbon. Designer unknown (rented costume) Costuming credit: Howard Burden & Gill Shaw

#red dwarf #danny john jules #red dwarf cat #catoutfits #fmj #fmj: image #once again completely guessing based on the knowledge I have. and from what I can tell from fashion plates this thing isn't real anyway #but oh boy is it gorgeous #I love the implication of the costumes being in-demand at the time so made for slim pickings. which is why lister ended up as a priest #but cat in this uniform could not have been more perfect #and the WIG god the wig is so stupid but it works #it doesn't work with the helmet of course which is why he only holds it but aesthetic-wise it's marvelous #only other austen archetype I can think of that would suit is a dandy. bc what is the cat except a dandy in space?#but they dandified the infantry uniform and that's good enough for me
