Post imperial..... Regiments became a bit more frugal.... lets say
So instead of all the expense of all that elaborate lace.... the kit became very simple.
Example :-
PAOLYC Officer pre 1906 then LYPAO Officer post 1906
The trend for the "Cavalry Cut" (old style) came back in the 60s I think. Almost everyone is wearing a simplified version today..... even the Yorkie Wagoneers (
Really
Large
Corps) I note.
Anyway ..... thats how I see the Mess kit I have shown in the above post..... a post 1906 Mess kit.
