The regimental history does not mention the change of uniform from blue to white facings, but the army list of 1901 states that the facings were white, whereas the previous lists had given blue. The Indian lancer regiments retained the older style of tunic that was worn by British regiments in the 1860s. Instead of the full plastron that covered the front from shoulder to waist, they had sewn-back false lapels. The collar and cuffs were also white, with gold lace edging.
The gold cord aiguillettes on the right shoulder were worn by officers on staff duty. The pouch-belt is post-1906, having the badge of the Prince of Wales on the front. The gold and crimson girdle is fastened on the left side, covering the lowest two buttons. The gold cord cap-lines are on the right shoulder and pass under the left arm, with two cords looped up to a hook on the tunic, and hanging as olivet ends. The white helmet is the Wolseley style with a wide brim and white pagri. The helmet has a gilt lancer spike and gilt chin chain, and the regimental badge on the front.
