Special Boat Service, do they have new buttons etc?
 

Hello
The new cloth cap badge of the SBS,is this worn with all types of dress
And I know they have collar badges for Lovets and No1 dress are RM shoulder titles and buttons worn on these uniforms, or have new ones been made?
Also, on combats, are the Royal Marines Commando woven curved titles worn?
Thank you all for your time

Morning. As far as I am aware they do not wear No1 blues and being a mixed unit now ‘best’ dress is Lovats for Bootnecks and the equivalent for Army ranks. There’s a bronze collar badge and SBS title for that uniform. What you are probably referring to for No1 dress collar (stay bright) is in fact mess dress collar. They do wear the ‘cloth’ cap badge on beret and I don’t think they wear any other headgear. Examples of the above described badges are in my album and are known good ones. As for buttons, fairly certain they use buttons generic to the relevant uniform of their parent unit/service. Ray

Excellent thank you for your response, greatly appreciated.
Strange to ware a cloth badge with Lovets and 2's don't you think?

Commando shoulder titles are not worn on 'combats' either in the CS95 days or now. Subdued SBS wings are (occasionally).

Cheers Royal
Quite a mix on parade then, all in green berets with cloth cap badge, army number 2 dress RM Lovets both with bronze SBS collar badges and SBS titles, all with there own buttons, all interesting stuff.
Thank you all for your contributions to this thread.
