World War 1 (WW1) British
British India Uniforms/RFC (Royal Flying Corp – Biggles clothing) and gear
In our World War 1 British section, we are bringing you uniforms of the British/Royal Army, the British India Uniforms, and uniforms of the Royal Flying Corp – since the RAF had not come into existence at that time. After, the closure of the Red Tamarind Mills, we have contracted out our requirement of fabric to a mill in Amritsar which manufactures the fabric for us exclusively. The weight, color, and fabric count are exact; it is supplied to us exclusively. We have introduced a new section- British India Uniforms. The British Indian army saw action in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and many other places. It was the hidden strength of the Royal Armed Forces and had more casualties than the British army. Quite a few collectors and historians wanted us to recreate these uniforms so have introduced a few articles from that era. We have also introduced a section on Royal Navy uniforms of WW1 – it has a few exclusive articles but I hope to build on it in the future. I have made a separate section for the Royal Flying Corps as they have proved to be very popular – all kinds of products from Maternity tunics to “Biggles” type leather jackets have been included as well as their flying boots.
Please don’t forget to fill in size charts or provide off-the-rack measures for your clothing orders.
Please provide cap sizes where required.
Please give shoe measures where required. We make half-sizes too.
WW1 British Army Uniforms and Gear
The British Army World War I uniform pattern 1902-1907 service dress (SD) OR’s uniform tunic or jacket is a loose fitting garment with a turned down or “rolled” collar ( we offer this jacket in both round and tailored collar-please specify while ordering), rifle patches on the shoulders, patch pockets on the breast and side pockets let into the skirts below the waist. The 1902 pattern British SD tunic comes with plain removable shoulder straps while the British 1907 pattern WW1 SD tunic comes with sewn down cloth shoulder straps. This is the pattern that most WW1 British army troops went to battle in. The lining is in strips of white cotton and all facings are of the same drab serge as the jacket (pocket facings and front button-hole facings). A field-dressing pocket is sewn to the interior right front skirt and the front is closed with 5 large buttons. The tunics come without the buttons. The British WW1 SD tunics are fitted with ample room to allow for wearing the shirt and cardigan sweater underneath. The neck hole is gathered by two pleats (darts) and each side of the collar in front and the armholes where the sleeve attaches have a reinforcing felling stitch around the armhole.
The tunic/jacket in either the 1902 or 1907 pattern is individually priced at US$125.
