Rank and buttons

Rank on the established Service carrier; Artillery Bath stars or Infantry Garter stars, and the matching branch garment buttons. Blue boards are not a default khaki Service carrier.

Equipment

Sam Browne with shoulder brace and conditional sword fittings; ordinary brown or entitled ceremonial white gloves.

Cap and trousers

Matching formal forage cap/badge/button or the actual khaki-cap fitting; male trousers with braces.

Rank

HAC Service rank is specified by Infantry or Artillery element and applied at fitting. Infantry uses the Garter-star exception; Artillery uses standard Bath stars, with crowns and device counts according to rank. No off-the-shelf rank badge or blue No. 1 carrier is automatically selected for this Service outfit.

Fittings & Lead Times

Measurements are taken and fittings overseen by Geoffrey Golding at the St Albans workroom, with each garment checked throughout the making process for fit, balance, finish and correct detail. Lead time is typically 8-12 weeks, depending on workshop capacity, fitting requirements and the date required.
