Ordinary
Officer Sam Browne with shoulder brace, leather sword fittings when ordered and brown gloves.
Shoulders and cap
Corresponding chain mail; black-backed gold cord is not the No. 1 carrier. Cap and badge must match the selected Infantry or Artillery configuration.
Legwear options
Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or No. 1 Dress Trousers. These are alternative outfits, not additional garments to wear together. Retain any rank, appointment, occasion and pattern conditions; select footwear and fittings to match the chosen legwear.
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.
