Adult SNCOs and headdress

I wear a beret almost exclusively. Generally only wear a cap with a tie

I just hate wearing the peak

The chip bag and 1s look is only acceptable if you’re in shoddily fit surplus 1s with a khaki messenger bag at a 1940s nostalgia weekend.

No…

Perfectly fitting tailored 1s, chip hat with Ascot scarf. There’s the 40s weekend.

Shame that most of the re-enactor types don’t think like that!

You just haven’t met the right ones. :wink:

I can see a request to bring back battledress forthcoming!

Give it a go, see what happens

Hate berets. Whoever suggested they wish officers could wear berets… have a word. :joy:

Try having satellite dish ears, you will understand then. At least the beret covers one of them, the hat just makes them look much worse :joy:

Ahh fair play mate, but berets aren’t my thing!

I miss my beret. But to be fair I miss my lanyard more.

Wear a sash instead? :wink:

And why not?

Looks pretty cool to me.

They need to be waaaay farther over. So far over that the only thing keeping them from gravity’s embrace is the copious amounts of spiffing brylcreem locking them down.

I’d have thought that the badly placed ATC and VRT pins would be wind-up enough… :wink:

It’s the top buttons that are the annoying part :wink:

I imagine that’s part of the retro look.

It only now occurs to me that this is an obvious statement.
