Likey/No Likey…?
YES/NO
The one on the right looks good. The one on the left I think the face on the standing lion is a bit pants.
Would look ace if the stitching was a tad better IMHO.

Nice design, copy @TheDon views here. I think the stitching, particularly on, the “Dieu et Mon Droit” needs a bit more definition.

There’s only two lions in the English quarters of the royal arms.
Comparing them to the ones on Cadet direct, it does need a few tweaks.

Personally I dislike the WO rankslide in terms of the actual coat of arms; rather than following RAF style which is a bit taller, the pattern seems to have been taken from a google stock image, or the RAF website model which doesn’t actually fit exactly with the WO pattern rankslides in current use.

I wouldn’t buy from these. Shoddy workmanship and terrible customer service!

Needs a new crown too?
Not officially yet surely?
Oh gosh, hadn’t even realised that. Now you’ve pointed it out I’d be popping them back in the return envelope.

Nice concept, but needs some work.
Have ordered from CL before, as they were doing the GPJ rank tabs for Officer, before CD did.
Hasn’t the bloke at combat logos come out and said that if you order anything with a crown it’ll come with a tudor crown? Thought that was a bit bold given nothing’s actually changed yet (though I did get the email from military direct offering new RN officer cap badges)
That’s bad from Alan, he’s usually good.
Easier to just go to the proper provider and see if they’ll add the text to the bottom?
Currently out of stock at the Cadet Kit Shop (but maybe updating with new crown?):
Will your flight sergeants be getting updated crowns?
I asked in the clothing stores and was told it’ll be three to five years.

I wonder when we’ll start seeing “new” crowns on peaks though? I’d imagine they must be cropping up in CIC intakes by now…
Pretty sure I saw some on Etsy the other day. The algorithm throws up some weird stuff…
Edit, my boss has already switched out his crown for the Tudor crown. I’d say if you really want, you’ll find a provider much sooner.
