I’ve seen in AP1358c that bandsmen are permitted to wear white lanyards with No.1 SD jacket. Does anyone know where these can be acquired from?
White lanyards? Do you mean the band frilly things. Like these?
Yep.
No idea, sorry.
I believe that those lanyards are properly called ‘Dress cords’.
I’m not sure either, but a search for ‘dress cords’ might be more fruitful than one for lanyards.
That might be interpreted as being trousers, though technically you may well be correct.
Lanyards of every type ever issued in the UK used to be available from www.cadetkitshop.com, especially back in their Duke of York Barracks days, when they appeared to be able to officially sell on a ‘prepayment’ basis almost anything on inventory.
Failing that, try Silvermans (but have deep pockets, they’re good but never cheap).
The downside of online retailing is that it encourages companies only to stock volume quantities of stuff that sells steadily, not items that are rarely asked for. Which makes them even rarer.

I’ll get the moan out the way first - You should only wear No 1 uniform when your performing with the NAtional Band and no other band…Moan over
You are referring to Dress Chords. Not long ago Odiham sent me a box full so it may be worth asking your parent station stores.
Also they can be worn with No 2A in Jumpers and if worn correctly. Photos are going to the PDM in the next week look fantastic. Dont for the love of god split the cord and wear over the head as they used to be worn. Much better and smarter wearing ALA RM bugler style
For a moment there I was trying to work out what on earth you meant by “alarm burglar”… :lol:
