Specification
Gender
Female
Equipment
Red leather crossbelt with silver Denmark lace and the prescribed silver fittings; silver-on-red slings when sword carried. Ordinary No. 1 retains the equipment with medal ribbons only.
Rank
5/8-inch gilt officer rank on chain mail.
Garments
Male dark-blue overalls with two 1-inch Vandyke silver-lace stripes ⅛ inch apart. Female jacket without breast pockets and plain dark-blue skirt just below the knee.
Legwear options
Choose the existing skirt, dress or female-cut trouser outfit, or Royal Yeomanry No. 1 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.

- Royal Yeomanry No. 1 Forage Cap
The Royal Yeomanry has a rifle-green forage cap under its own table (serial 2, repeated for Service Dress at serial 10). The adjacent Queen’s Own Yeomanry table specifies a distinct scarlet hussar cap and scarlet side cap; it cannot define a Royal Yeomanry cap variant or universal RY uniform entitlement. Preserve the imported QOY assertions separately and remove their accidental RY commercial presentation.

Royal Yeomanry No. 1 rank uses the source-specified 5/8-inch gilt crowns and stars on chain-mail epaulettes, according to substantive rank.
