In 1842 the koller replaced the previous frock coat. At first the skirt was still cut in a bell shape.
The koller was made of white kersey and had hooks and eyes at the front instead of buttons.
The collar was white, the sleeve turnback was Swedish and otherwise kept in the facing color.
A braid in the respective facing color ran along the collar and down the front; it was also on the sleeve turnbacks.
The regiment shown above had ponceau red as its facing color.
