White-on-khaki Service rank pattern.
Equipment
Retain the locally prescribed gold sword knot and slings.
Footwear
Plain male brown footwear or the female Service shoe pattern; half-brogue use needs a regimental exception.
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.
