Gala uniform of a minister
1897 | Baron Michael Kast
In 1849, shortly after coming to power, Emperor Franz Joseph prescribed standardised dress resembling a military uniform for all state officials. The regulation was greatly modified in 1889 and then remained in effect unchanged until 1918. In accordance with the regulation of 1889 the dress uniform for ministers consists of a tunic and trousers ("pantalon") of dark-green cloth. The tunic is decorated with red piping. The collar and cuffs are made of red velvet, which is richly embroidered in gold as a symbol of ministerial rank. The jacket was closed with gold-plated buttons bearing the imperial double eagle. A sabre with hand-guard was attached with a leather strap beneath the jacket.
