Of course: but the Senior Service looks after their kit
The Gieves kit was very popular in the RN back in the 60s and 70s, Mess kit and caps especially. Mine was a replacement in 1972 after the original was nicked during IntSAR at Lee, most awkward to have no cap the next morning until I was able to get into town and purchase this one!
I even have my Gieves account card, there should be a couple of quid in there gaining interest
