AP1358c is your friend go look at it!
As an aside are you a Lord Lieutenants cadet or CWO? Because if you are not your OC has no authority to allow you to wear it - your Regional Commandant does. PARA 202 AP1358c

Thank you very much, i have ap1358c on my phone but i must have been looking in the wrong section.
As for why i’m wearing it, i am a FSC on a VGS and we have our annual dining in night, all the FSC have been given permission to wear a N0.1 jacket with blues trousers white shirt and a black bow tie.
Try to get pair of No1 trousers if you can (as a close a colour match as possible).
Nothing in the world looks worse than wearing a No1 jacket with No2 trousers.

True.
Or…
A cadet in an ill-fitting No 1 jacket with No 2 trousers, and a hat 2 sizes too big for them, which has been sat under a pile of junk in the corner of an army surplus store for the last 10 years.
