Hi all,
I have recently been appointed LLC for my area and I have been told by my OC that I will need to source my own No 1s and then claim back the money. Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced place to buy this stuff, and have any thing in particular to be careful of.

They are to be current pattern, ORs No1 SD uniform.
That means the standard No1s that airmen are currently issued - for male pattern that is with a belt and with the lower pockets flat as opposed to “bloused” (external) which are the officer pattern.
The jacket, trousers and belt are all part of the same suit and need to be from the same cut of cloth - do not use mismatched items as it will be obvious.Hats shouldn’t be some tatty and tired old cap that has been in the store for decades.
Most importantly though, LLCs are scaled for part-worn No1SD and your parent station, possibly via your WHQ, ought to be able to sort you out with a set - if they do not have them locally then they can get them from another station. You should not have to spend money for this stuff.
If you are near an RAF Station I’m sure they would offer to help.
