Description

WO1 wears the Officer/WO1-pattern No. 10 Mess Dress system. The 2025 regimental rules prescribe the Lowland-pattern Glengarry with cap badge for Officers/WO1s. This exact later-source exception supersedes the general ADR 09.65 no-headdress rule for this WO1 page only.

Legwear options

Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or Government 1A Tartan Trews (Low-back Trews). 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.
