E C Snaith & Son Ltd

General information

We are the current suppliers to the UK Ministry of Defence for all ceremonial uniform and the vast majority of accoutrements. We are also the incumbent suppliers to Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and most of the livery companies of London.

We still have three factories and over 100 skilled master technicians and tailors employed in the United Kingdom. These tailors, armourers, hat makers, die sinkers, toolmakers and other skilled trades people are responsible for delivering all of the metal badges, buttons, hand embroidered badges, ceremonial uniforms and other accoutrements that are offered to you through our website. The very same product is sold to the Ministry of Defence on contract.

We believe, unlike other Direct web based sales outlets that we have a greater understanding of the reasons that have motivated your military career. At any age, as a cadet, a regular or territorial service person or a retired veteran, a career in the armed forces is a lifestyle choice that stays with you forever. The camaraderie, friendships and sense of purpose derived through a relationship with the military at any level fundamentally changes men and women of all ages uniting them behind a common cause in the service of our country.
