Several non-European courts adopted European-style diplomatic uniforms during the 19th century. Notably, Japan during the Meiji Revolution introduced European uniforms instead of traditional clothing for all officials in 1872. [1] The Ottoman court was another non-European court that adopted the uniforms, which were introduced during the Tanzimat period. The final period during which the majority of diplomatic services retained formal uniforms for the accredited members of their overseas missions was that prior to World War II. A detailed study of contemporary uniforms, both military and civil, published in 1929 [2] gives descriptions of the diplomatic uniforms still being worn by representatives of the majority of states then in existence. These included most European nations and a number of Latin American and Asian countries. It is however noted that several states which had only been created following World War I, had not adopted diplomatic uniforms and that others had discarded them. The uniforms described are nearly all of the traditional style of bicorne hat and tailcoat with braiding according to grade, from third secretaries to ambassadors. Consular staff were less likely to have authorised uniforms than their diplomatic colleagues and where consular uniforms existed they were generally of simpler style. As an example, the British Consular Service had silver braiding rather than the gold of diplomats. [3] No. 5 is the collective category for all specialist working uniforms. They are worn as required for duties. These include overalls, dry and wet suits, physical training uniform, and dental and medical scrubs. Included in this category as well is the Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) PCS (personal clothing system) uniform.The bicorne or bicorn (two-cornered/horned or twihorn) is an archaic form of hat widely adopted in the 1790s as an item of uniform by European and American military and naval officers . Dajō-kan Edict No. 373 29 December 1872. Taireifuku oyobi tsūjōreifuku chakuyoubi no ken ( 大礼服及通常礼服著用日ノ件). View here. Until about 1965 Foreign Office Regulations and Consular Instructions had required even junior foreign service officers to acquire this formal dress, following completion of their probation period. However, by the end of the 20th century the use of this uniform had greatly diminished. Fortunately, collectors need no longer despair as they now have a chance to get their hands on a newly-discovered hat with DNA evidence linking it to Napoléon as it heads to auction this month with Bonhams.

Following the Meiji Restoration, the Dajō-kan released an edict on 12 December 1872, [16] implementing regulations for the uniforms of civil officials and nobles, and issuing another edict on 29 December of that year [17] regulating their proper wear. Three of the highest subcategories of civil officials were allocated specific court (diplomatic) uniforms: Imperial appointees ( 勅任官, chokuninkan), non-Imperially appointed senior officials ( 奏任官, sōninkan), and junior officials ( 判任官, hanninkan).
