Hi roy.

SoFs shirts are wrong and small in the collar size but i like mine.

2 commando badge is a simple silver dagger on a black felt backing, the SS ones are officers ones.

PM Yith about 2 commando badges, he may have one for sale.

You really dont need t do that.

Firstly only buy of SOF as a last resort.

Always go to sabre sales in portsmouth for brit kit, then try jerry at what price glory for repros.

ORs 2 commando daggers are pretty easy to get hold of, as for the felt, just get some from the craft store and cut to size.

here you go, quick ebay search

I have a collarless shirt from What Price Glory if you wanted to buy that? Its a size 44 and I can not wear it as my skin can not really do wool. :oops:

I have one of those... they really are extreme on the itchyness stakes... way worse than any BD.

However there is probably a way to make them less itchy involving fabric conditioner, shaving and other stuff...

a small wire brush ( weapon cleaning kit type ) can do wonders on wool shirts, we had the shirt KF when i joined up, and if you got a new one issued as opposed to a worn in one, god help you, it was like wearing barbed wire, i bit of timee with the wire brush did wonders, try it( it does ruin the brush tho)
