I bet Troopers in Colchester could do it, they could also add plate carriers, extra pouches and foliage loops. Give them a bell.

Which cavalry regiments wear their No. 1 overalls with double yellow stripes? Where are they based and what is the likelyhood of finding a set of blues second hand from these regiments?

Jeremy Paxton on here now?

Is he the heir to the stuffing empire?

Future_Rupert, the regiment you are after is the 12/49 King's Own Chinless Prancers, simply pop in to your nearest careers office and ask about them.

Overalls? Cav? Yellow stripes on overalls?

Careful chaps - we're moving from dapperness into the realms of foppishness. You'll be discussing the merits of staybrite aguilettes next. Get back on thread this minute!

Exactly - I always believed this thread to be about what a chap wears when out of uniform. Uniform questions should be addressed to the appropriate regimental/corps forum where I am sure the information will be forecoming. Now I've got that off my chest I'll get back in my box.

Single breasted, NEW, black dinner suit for £99.

Deal or no deal?

Seriously Any catches? Seems pretty cheap. by the way I'm not exceptionally rich so I might be up my ally? Any ideas?

-PAN

Is that the sale price?
If it fits and it's made of wool, and you're happy with it, deal.
However, you might do better by looking for sales.

Cavalry get-up is rarely uniform, and certainly a sartorial matter. And thank you to Bat_Crab for that wonderfully chippy comment.
However, having been corrected as to where I should direct my queries, I will ensure they are, from now on, to the correct forum.

Assuming it is 100% wool and fits then one other thing to consider. Shawl or peaked lapel - deal, notched - no deal. Ideally it should also be ventless and no flaps on the pockets of the coat but these are possibly not dealbreakers when your highest priority is saving money. However, if it's £99 how do they manage to do it? If it is wool then it will not be of the best quality so expect the shine quotient to be very high after a couple of wearings and end up looking like Fablon man.

Lo folks,

Need to buy a new dress shirt for an upcoming ball due to old one being split asunder under the strain of encompassing my vast & bearish man-chest (cough), or possibly being eons old (less cough). I'm also due to start Sandbags in May, and know that various functions will require dress kit, so thought I may as well thrill two birds with one shirt.

1. Are dress shirts for uniform at Sandhurst issued or bought as part of a specific uniform? I am all ignorance.
2. If not, is there a specific style of dress shirt required / suggested / suggested-by-which-we-mean-required?

My preference would be standard pleated white shirt, studs not buttons, french cuffs obviously, and wing-collar, such as this style here (yes, I know, awful Italians go to Saville etc, it's just the first example Google presented). Would I be committing sartorial suicide at RMAS with that getup, or is that an acceptable piece of cotton for dress functions?

Cheers in advance for any wisdom.
