Colour

Khaki Service jacket and matching khaki skirt; the conflicting all-green workshop colour is superseded by ADR.

Rank and equipment

Black metal rank according to substantive rank; locally ordered belt and sword system.

Footwear

Black Service shoes on parade; black courts for authorised off-parade occasions.

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or Service 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.
