British Army Number 1 Uniform, where to get it?

Question

I want to get a set of number one uniform for my wedding, but the stores have run out of my size. Can anyone tell me a site that i could buy second hand or something like that. I've tried e-bay but had no luck what-so-ever............ Desperation has set in!

Answer 1

If you are still serving I'm sure your QM will alter a uniform to your size. If not try asking your regimental assocation or TA battalions as most of us soldiers who have retired and are still active in either the reserves or TA will have slightly larger sized uniforms!! Failing that have your RSM contact the Academy Sgt Major at Sandhurst (who is the most senior Warrant Officer in the British Army) who will be able to sort anything.
You could also try the military tailors like Goldings http://www.goldings.co.uk/military_and_livery

Or you could try posting a message on the best Army message board - The Army Rumour Service http://www.arrse.co.uk

Best of luck

Answer 2

Can the stores not order your size for you, when i was in the forces if i needed anything out of stock they was able to order it for me with no problems, but things change it was 20 years since i was in the forces. Failing that check online for military uniform suppliers through your search engine.

Answer 3

Join the British Army and you can have all the class 1 uniforms
that you would be required to have.

Answer 4

Try an Army surplus site online.

Answer 5

it would depend on want regiment your from maybe you could phone them up if there in the UK and maybe they would lend you one

if you was not in the army i think it would be wrong of you to go to Church in uniform you did not earn if you did then sorry..

Answer 6

you wont get a current one at short notice, they are like gold dust....best bet would be borrowing one off a squaddie. Besides wearing a current one is technically illegal as you would be impersonating a soldier, last i heard its still jail time.
