Khaki emerged in the North West frontier of the British empire in 1848. Sir Henry Lumsden, second in command of a regiment composed of Indian recruits was unhappy with both his and his troops uniforms. So he struck upon the idea of creating a new one. He produced a uniform made of resilient twill cotton and colored in brown to synthesize with the environment. At first he used imported dyed fabric from England but gradually supply became redundant and the cavalry men used the native plants like mazari, coffee and tea to color white uniforms. Otherwise they colored their uniforms with tobacco juice, curry, dirt and dust. The literal meaning of Khaki is soil colored and it is a word of Hindustani origin. The Khaki uniform was made the official dress for service by all of the regions British and Indian regiments. It was also used as a casual summer dress. It stood out with its properties of comfort and better synchronization with the environment. In 1902, it became the official service dress of British forces in the continent as well.
