Coronation Tailors: Fit for a King

[seagull]

An interesting BBC program investigating the making of the new uniforms to be used in the coronation of King Charles lll, currently listed in the 'most popular' category of the BBC iPlayer. Easily found online. Also includes a segment from Firmins of Birmingham, and an interview with one of the only two men in the World who can still make the helmets of the Household Cavalry - by hand..
Enjoy.

Nice TV program but the quality of those newly made uniforms... well hardly to say any nice words about them lol.

I have a couple of the sun helmets worn by the British Army - they are fiberglass instead of cork!
