Another rare uniform. Thanks for sharing.

It is possible that the FF HQ recommended Nicolls of Regent Street as their preferred tailors in exactly the same way as the British Army's regiments always had regimental tailors.

As these officers uniforms were like those for the British Army, privately purchased - ie not an issue - it may simply be that one officer recommended another officer to the tailor who had done a good job and produced a smart uniform for a reasonable price.

There were numerous tailors in and around Saville Row - which is just off Regent Street - and British made officers uniforms can be found for most of the Free Forces and the Americans stationed here.
