Excellent quality reproduction arm of service strips. These have been meticulously designed by ourselves, utilising original examples, in order to produce a very close replica.

The majority of the strips are machine sewn on felt, with either red or off white thread. The style of stitching has been closely mimicked and the edges of the felt 'roughed' slightly to reflect the fact the originals were hand cut and not laser cut like modern manufacturing techniques would dictate.

The coloured strip itself exactly matches the size of the original specification (ACI (Army Council Instruction) 1118) at 51mm long by 6.4mm although as was common with British insignia during the War, there are many variations. The felt backing can be cut down further to suit.

As stocks are exhausted, we are replacing these with fully embroidered variations, which are Made in England, as part of our Made in England range. These are distinguished from the felt patches by their 'Made in England' moniker.

Sold in pairs.
