MatchFuzee Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Are reproduction trousers o.k.? From their site:- In February 2015 Uniform Stores received a request to reproduce a head-to-toe 1950’s pattern Battle Dress Uniform, introduced in 1949 as a revised design of the '40 Pattern Battledress it inherited to title and become known as the ’49 Pattern Battledress. Through our existing connections with manufactures and trade partners we were able to source the skills necessary to develop an exact replica of this historic, distinctly British uniform. To reproduce the exact fabric of the Battle Dress Uniform a sample from an original was used to create a perfect match. Once the required amount of fabric had been aquired a specialist in historic military uniforms produced the Battle Dress to a tailored fit standard. All badges/insignia were fitted in-house by UniformStores.co.uk - A total six business's were involved at some point to bring together this Uniform. https://www.uniformstores.co.uk/49-pattern-battle-dress-22-w.asp No idea of cost or quality as no personal experience with the company.

rsvpiper Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Yeah spoke to them while ago, very helpful but they didn't have enough of the cloth to make anything! From memory it wS around £250 just for the trousers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) The picture of what they produced does not look good. The letter prefix sizes would effectively been to special order so extremly rare. Edited August 22, 2021 by REME 245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Five Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This company have an impressive range of clients. They might be able to help. If 12A is a special order then they might be able to tailor make them for you.
