I know about the army and it’s battledress thanks to the likes of dads army, but I’ve only recently found out about the navy’s version thanks to seeing Sir Roger Moore in it as James Bond
Now looking at him he’s wearing it in what I assume is winter order as opposed to summer order?
Two questions though- was this rig only for officers or did the rations get it too? And when did we move out of this rig? I as as I thought that we’d always kept our one’s as is and when the Rn moved from 8’s/4’s the reports kept saying this was the first uniform update in 50 years or so.
