Description

Specification

Gender

Female

Order of dress

Non-ceremonial No. 1 retains the regimental equipment; medal ribbons replace medals.

Rank and crossbelt

The appropriate rank on the RGJ-pattern boards and the officer crossbelt, with its regimental fittings.

Gloves

Black leather gloves.

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or The Rifles Overalls. 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.
