Would be grateful for contact details of firms that make cummerbunds in squadron/regimental colours.

Gieves & Hawke. Not sure of the contact details, but Jermine Street I think. Certainly Central London. Not the cheapest maybe, but a good product.

Gieves & Hawkes are famously at No.1 Savile Row (runs parallel to and east of the bottom end of Regent Street). They are still IMHO the very best. Be prepared to shell out some serious wonga though.

Go to www.gievesandhawkes.com they have a military section on the site.

Edited for crop spallig.

Be warned though, that Thieves & Hawkes will charge an arm and a leg for the privelage of having their label on your gut busting beer soaker!!!:p

Thank you all; anybody think of an alternative? Boss prefers two or three quotes.
(I won't sully these pages with the quote I'm thinking of giving him.):rolleyes:

Try "Aitchboze Enterprises, Stocks, Ashburnham Drive, Walters Ash, Bucks HP14 4UD" Tel: 01494 562317.

They have done the cummerbunds for my last 3 Sqns and are a lot cheaper than the Jeeves option.

Do you mean to say that you chaps actually pay your tailor? Good heavens what is the world coming too? You'll be telling me that you let your man have Sunday afternoon off next. :D

It might be worthwhile giving Terry or Anne Rumble a call at Terrane Promotions. They might be able to put badges onto cummerbunds for you, and being current RAF he might also quote a favourable price.
