Composition
Description
Specification
Gender
Female
Local female pattern
Patrol overalls with two ¾-inch white stripes ¼ inch apart, Wellingtons, straight-neck spurs and braces; the generic skirt is not this No. 1 pattern.
Fittings
30 ligne brass Death’s Head buttons and the corresponding cap fittings.
Mounted duty
Mounted pantaloons and boots are separately conditional.
Legwear options
Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or The Royal Lancers Patrol 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.
