 Context examples 

This was exactly as it should be; for the young man wanted only regimentals to make him completely charming.

(Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen)

I remember the time when I liked a red coat myself very well—and, indeed, so I do still at my heart; and if a smart young colonel, with five or six thousand a year, should want one of my girls I shall not say nay to him; and I thought Colonel Forster looked very becoming the other night at Sir William's in his regimentals.

(Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen)

They could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr. Bingley's large fortune, the mention of which gave animation to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the regimentals of an ensign.

(Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen)
