Uniforms & mess dress

Made-to-measure uniforms for the Swedish Army, Navy, Air Force and Merchant Navy. We have done it since 1932, and we still do it by hand.

Full and short mess dress

Two forms, two dress codes

Mess dress is worn at formal gatherings across several arms of service and comes in two forms. Full mess dress corresponds to white tie and may be worn wherever a tailcoat would be worn in civilian life. Short mess dress corresponds to black tie.

Both are cut to your own measurements. We know the regulations, we know where the rank insignia belong, and we know how the garment should fall when you are standing to attention as well as when you are seated at table.

If the uniform is for a specific ceremony, book the measuring in very good time. Uniform work takes longer than civilian garments.

The details

The gold work tells the branches apart

The crown, the wings, the anchor – each branch has its own devices, and they are never placed by guesswork. We know where they belong, how they are worked and what separates one form from another.

If you already have a cap, a belt or gloves, we complete what is missing and make sure the whole agrees with the regulations.
