Thanks Capt coldfront there is no end of shirt suppliers in the uk, but very very few provide the full suit.

Other than walking into a tailors and buying a suit, then adding the stripes cant seem to find anyone else, even with google's help.

Oh Well

I have been looking as well, Wensum do everything but the material is not so good. Private tailors are an arm an a leg If you find something worthwhile do let us all know. I am going to check out the other suggestions.

I too am interested in a new uniform, had 3 off Wensum now and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Not tried Miller-Rayner yet.

Surely for a good lasting, quality uniform there has to be others?

Uniform fitter

Hi Guys

Try The Cotswold Tailor in Woodstock, oxfordshire. He did all of my crew uniforms to a very high standard. You are measured up and the fitting is like Savile Row. Speak to Alex Edwards. You can choose any cloth and lining you want so the options are endless.

Hope it helps.

All the best
