Genuine RAF/Air Cadet Issue Blue Grey Beret

Product Information

Welts should be free of dust, and the shoe must not be ‘cross laced’ Female shoes should be bulled at the front of the shoe and polished to a good shine on the body.

Unlike many direct sale companies this means we understand manufacturing and product development, not just selling. Manufactured from 100% wool, this RAF beret also features a real leather headband with a 100% cotton lining. Take the brush you are going to use to put the polish on, and dip it into the polish, then rub this all over the shoe so that the shoe goes a dull matt black. On the bronze statues the plate is jewellers brass and the pewter/ silver statues have a nickel silver plate.The beret looks and feels good and shaped really easily; and the badge has no backing but is very neatly sewn. Once you have finished putting the polish onto both shoes, go back to the first one and use the brush used to remove the excess polish and buff the shoe, then repeat this on the second shoe. We can also include blank plates on the back and sides of the mahogany base to make a perpetual trophy.

Females need to arrange their ‘hair in a manner which permits the uniform headdress to be worn correctly’. I quite like the look of them and all the RAF officers I’ve talked to were all pro-chip bag hats because of the convenience. Use a steam iron and press the trouser through a tea towel, this ensures the trousers do not turn shiny at the creases. They are also used as presentations to serving soldiers for promotions, retirements or event awards.

Responsibility lies with the cadet, not their parents, to keep uniform in a clean and serviceable manner!

No hair is allowed to stick out the front of the beret and is not allowed to touch the collar on the shirt. One if the best ways to remove creases from a skirt is to simply hang it for a while for the creases to drop out, but occasional ironing may be necessary. Does exactly what it says on the tin and I very much look forward to dealing with this trusted seller again in the near future. The brassard will need to be iron so there are no creases, but the temperate will need to be turned down on your iron so that it doesn’t melt.

You would need the cardboard backing bit out of a standard beret and you have to open the lining and cut some holes to get the badge in. In between each hot and cold cycle put the beret on your head, holding the badge and pulling the excess material towards your right ear. Our Royal Air Force Officers Beret are all manufactured to meet and exceed current UK MoD specifications. The oldest part of the group has been continuously manufacturing in the United Kingdom since 1685 making it one of the country’s oldest manufacturers and suppliers. uniform the sleeves need to be folded up to above the elbows, with each fold roughly two inches wide.

A hair ribbon can be worn in the form of a bandeau, but it needs to be a similar colour to the hair or black.
