Military tailors play a crucial role in maintaining the high standards and traditions associated with the British Armed Forces.
Samuel Brothers military tailors consist of a team of 15 highly skilled staff who make around 2,000 uniforms a year.
Forces News have visited their factory in Harwich to take a look at the work that goes into those perfectly tailored uniforms and how they have adapted to keep up with the times.

This is why Mess Kit cost so much (paid for by the member). But you certainly get what you pay for.

I really wish they would make beautiful uniforms like these for the emergency services. Police, Fire and Ambulance should all be able to proudly walk in parades just as much as our armed forces do.

@simongee8928 4 дня назад

Grandly decorated uniforms are certainly right for parades & displays, but for everyday work, practicality has to come first. 😊

@cornbeef 4 дня назад

@@simongee8928 that's what I meant. They use to give police tunics but now they're only lent to them for special occasions. I think it's a shame that they're not given them to join in with parades

@tonys1636 4 дня назад

@@cornbeef It wasn't that many years ago that the Police wore a tunic for normal duty, the Metropolitan Police had smart white shirts worn open necked in summer without tunic, not the mid blue of other constabularies. The modern black shirts and high-vis looks awful. Fire Brigades wore normal uniform and put on protective gear en-route to a shout. Watch reruns of 'The Bill ' and 'London's Burning '.

@@tonys1636 I remember! I can understand he practical side of not wearing a tunic, but considering the emergency services are so important yet they're forgotten during remembrance services etc. It's a shame. They should be proud of their position and be able to turn up in their tunics and medals in my opinion, as should ambulance and fire

@tonys1636 4 дня назад

@@cornbeef The Police, Ambulance and Fire Services are represented at the Cenotaph and other services around the country, also at other Civic events in No.1 uniform but normally wearing just medal ribbons. As does the RNLI and HM Coastguard.

Wonderful that they still have the skills for such tailoring, and the people who have these skills. The country seems to be in a severe crisis after Brexit, which was a disaster. But their armed forces still look splendid in gala uniforms.

Samuel’s are cheap; actually mass produced. Dege and Skinner on Savile Row or Meyer and Mortimer on Sackville Street are the best for mess kit; correctly bespoke.
