Specification

Gender

Female

Rank and titles

5/8-inch brass rank and full-title brass shoulder titles.

Equipment

Service Sam Browne and leather scabbard when the sabre is ordered.

Footwear

Dismounted Oxford/appropriate female Service shoe pattern; mounted field boots, light-tan breeches and spurs form a separate configuration.

Arm badge

Established Service fern/arm-badge scope; exact duplicate stock identity remains to be confirmed.

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.
