Cullis is a character who is introduced early on in the prologue and is shown to be a large, clumsy red-faced drunk with an armoured eye-patch. He is described as wearing a field marshal's jacket that is a size too large for him, suggesting he stole it. He also wears an eye patch that covers a gun installed in his eye socket (!!)
When devising an initial design, I looked at pictures of real field marshal's jackets. However, this seemed to ground the design of the character in our reality, whilst he could be a fusion of another aesthetic and our own.
What I looked at was a combination of the following reference images and characters.
 |
This seems to be a British Army field marshal's jacket. This jacket is from around 1918, and is thus more ornate than more modern battle dress uniform.

 |
| Operation: Anchorage's General Chase wears a stylised general's jacket, which is adapted to the Alaskan environment. It features oversized lapelles, belt and pockets. It also extends to the shins. |
 |
| Treize Khushrenada, like all other soldiers in the Gundam Wing franchise have uniforms inspired by older Navy uniforms. It has contrasting epaulets and knee-high boots with knee protectors. |
 |
| The duffle coat is essentially a field marshal jacket, they show how a range of lining patterns can bring out the monotone materials. |
