The M1886 uniform saw service between 1886 and 1904, and was mostly known for its midnight-blue hussar-type "Attila" jacket for officers. Interestingly, "Attack on Titan" takes place in a time period similar to the early 1900s. The idea originally came when I watched "Golden Kamuy" and 坂の上の雲 a few years ago.
Below are the specific details and contexts for 2 sets of M1886 officer uniforms.
1) M1886 blue tunic and M1900 blue trousers (home service with the weekly duty officer's sash).
2) M1886 blue tunic and M1900 white trousers (Boxer Rebellion, summer of 1900).
