    Swedish king Gustav III decided that Sweden should have a uniform that was more or less universal and designed "Svenska dräkten" or "Nationella dräkten".
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationella_dr%C3%A4kten The Naval uniform was a variation on that.

    This is a Swedish Captain of 1780-90ish.

    That is Smart.
    The hat reminds me of the one worn by if I remember correctly after 40 years Bavarian troops. Sven will no doubt put me right.
    I always liked that.
