Hello, Tailor

Tom Pullings takes after Captain Aubrey, with long hair and relatively traditional dress. He is, however, neater and more put-together — which may be due to his role as second-in-command onboard ship. Since Aubrey’s method of leadership is rather paternal and flexible, Pullings has to be more by-the-book in order to balance things out. An interesting detail in Pullings’ costuming is his bicorn hat, which he wears “fore-and-aft” in contrast to Aubrey’s “athwartships”. Athwartships was the fashion favoured by the older generation, modelled off Nelson’s style, and this type of variation within the uniform is a clear sign of how much Naval uniforms were influenced by the changing fashions of the period.  — The costumes of Master & Commander, Part 2.
