Could always try ebay. Don't know of the legality of wearing service uniform once a person has left the service though.

I cant see any problems as long as the Uniform doesnt have Insignia and Awards that the wearer isnt entitled to wear.A lot of the Vets on the Rememberance Day Parade still sport theirs.

Uncle Albert used to wear his to the pub!

I'm another newbie and thought this might be a quiet spot where I could make a test post.
