Stuffed Shirts
 
I phoned Snaith's at Cranwell this morning, to try to buy a wedgewood blue shirt with double cuffs. They told me that they don't sell them, as we aren't allowed to wear them any more.
Just in case I decide to completely ignore this diktat, can anyone suggest somewhere I could get hold of such a shirt, without the expense of having one individually made for me?

Sounds a bit like a 'career item' to me. That means anyone viewing this site won't have a clue!

I once got a cuff round the ear if that helps, but a double cuff must be a real telling off.

I'm actually trying to get hold of it for my forthcoming wedding, and no I don't wear blues very often either, but nor did I expect help without some banter! Please carry on...

I bet you will be really cuffed when somebody gives you a sensible answer !

If your main concern is wearing some special cufflinks at your wedding, the standard single cuff blue shirt has holes on both sides of the cuff, so you can remove the button and use a cufflink.

It's a cheat but noone would ever know.

(I did it for my wedding)

probably stating the obvious :)

Q: Diktat? what's a Diktat?
A: It's Tat for dicks.
Oh, you mean something like a double-cuffed wedgewood blue shirt?
Yer that's right, the sort that dicks wear to weddings.

You're only jealous because we wear a natty shade of blue that matches the sanctifies halls of the skies.

Your shirt, however, matches the colour of the scum found on cesspools.




Tin hats please gentlemen.

If you are wearing No 1s, just buy a civvie one roughly the same colour - you don't need rank tabs under your jacket....

It is only a wedding, don't want to waste loads of money do you?

There used to be an outfit in London called 'Allkit' - do they still exist? They, at one time, claimed to supply everything, but that may have been before the RAF;)
