What our customers are saying!

This year I decided to engage on a new hobby and was recommended to use this person to make my Battledress. I was wary of who I used as with my inexperience in the living history circles I was prone to being ripped off. All I can say is I cannot say enough how happy I was with not only the product I received but with all the support I have got throughout the time I was waiting for my uniform to be made. I cannot see me going elsewhere in future. The Battledress has been complimented on at each event I have gone to.

New serge Battledress

It's just a way of helping a lad who is always ready to help others with advice, information, research, and his time, anything despite having very very serious health issues. Some of us decided to get him his dream SD uniform made by Dickie Knight of Khaki on Campaign which is basically original kit but made today. It is the Rolls Royce of Uniforms and Alex 'Rat' Heath been saving for a set for ages. Being so ill and spending so much time in hospital means he can no longer work and his funds are limited so here's where his pals come in. If folk can help, please do. Not going to mention here what Richard Knight has done for this appeal but he has been truly amazing and generous.

WW1 SD uniform appeal

Richard made a full 37 pattern battledress uniform (latest weave of serge cloth) and supplied the webbing, pack, boots and even the Lee Enfield 303. I have to say that the workmanship is of the finest I have seen. The webbing with all various pouches, buckles, straps, the ammo boots and uniform all come together to make the most authentic and realistic battle orders this side of 1940. On top of the superb tailoring, Richard is a thoroughly nice chap who is as talented as he is knowledgeable about his passion and every question is answered in full with every detail. The best quarter master you will deal with.

Now ready for operation Neptune

I received the SBR on the morning I was due to take a school over to the Western Front right away the AB64 wallet became my default passport holder and the SBR went everywhere and was whipped out at the slightest mention of a gas related topic. It is amazing how kids respond to props and dressing up it may be true that a picture tells a thousand words but an artefact tells ten thousand. Thanks once again for your excellent and prompt service, I shall be in touch again as I will be ordering one of your PH hoods.

1921 New Pattern  SD tunic and trousers

I contacted Mr Knight about getting an Assault Jerkin made up. It arrived and it is an excellent piece of kit. The best reproduction of this item that I am aware of. Worked smashingly at the D-Day event in Ohio. No regrets!

D-Day Assault Jerkin

I asked Richard to make me a WW11 American War Aid walking out Battledress, this is for my 1940s themed wedding in October 2015. But this will also be used at events / dances. Having put it on before my intended arrived home from work - she walked in - long pause - then went (wow). Truly amazing well pleased.

WW11 Reenactment Cpl 4th Somerset L.I.

My goodness!!! It's fab! After what seemed liked years of searching for a decent 1914 style Officers cap I discovered Richard and his reproductions so his version of the iconic headress went straight on my birthday list. He made it quickly without hassle and it got here quickly according to my Grandmother who made the purchase. Extremely smashing cap and am very much excited to get out in it as soon as humanly possible. Well worth the money, thank you!

I wore the cap in all its glory at Temple at War today!

Had lots of positive feedback on the ensemble!

Thanks again for making such a great cap!

“I had been recommended by several fellow living historians that the SD

caps from khaki on campaign were second to none in terms of quality

and accuracy. I was quick to place an order and

I was pleasantly surprised by the swiftness of delivery, however I would

have been happy to wait longer to receive such a quality item.

I was so impressed by the service that I have now place an additional

order for a set of Service Dress.”
