JOCKEY’S RACING JACKET
D. Gilbert & Son
1890s
Racing colours consist of three components: the jacket, the sleeves and the cap; their primary purpose is to assist horse race judges. Only simple designs such as hoops, stripes, chevrons, halves, quarters, sashes, diamonds, spots and checks are allowed. The circles on this shirt were
created by cutting around a paper template, which was then sandwiched between the outer circle and the shirt’s body before being hand-stitched down. Racing colours were first used in the mid-eighteenth century and were originally registered with the Jockey Club, who regulated their use to
ensure that each owner had a unique set. Today they are regulated by the British Horse Racing Authority. These colours were initially registered in 1864 by Mr W. Hudson, and then later in 1885 by Mr W.E. Brymer.
