The National Army Museum has this quilted jacket in its collection. The photo of sergeants in Kabul in 1880 confirms that the 9th Lancers were issued with such a jacket to protect them from the cold nights and high altitude temperatures. The red edging certainly appears to be evidence that this is a 9th Lancers item of uniform. The white uniform worn by them in India in 1857-58 also had red edging.
