UK Army Officer Khaki Drill Service Dress Tunic
(2021-02-15)
Nice style the fitting is little bit to big round the waist.
Delivery time outstanding.

Cannot ask for any better - the only thing which is incorrect is that the belt is fixed which can be removed. I am a chest 44 but got it exchanged for a chest 42 which is a better fit.

WPG has the best service of any firm with which I have dealt. The tunic is well made, but it had an attached belt (RAF yes-Army no) and no brass side hooks for the Sam Browne belt. It was an easy fix to remove the belt and I happened to have a pair of hooks, so back to regulation. One I bought a few years back was correct. Fit is good. All in all a great product.
Great Tunic

Great tunic belt keepers already fitted and cloth belt is a separate piece. Great for aussie light horse officer. Could not be happier

Highly recommended item.
Great tunic all around

Had to exchange the 52L for a 50L, but it's my fault. It is made to size. Well made in every respect, and the belt that came with was detached. With trousers and cap, I can imagine myself building a railroad bridge over the River Kwai!
Quality construction.

Fast smooth delivery and an excellent quality item. I have ordered from here before and have many more items to order. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Well made tunic

This garment is true to size and ratios of chest, shoulders and sleeve length. It fits me well, with more than adequate room to move about.
Another quality item from WPG.

It's worth getting a size up as these are quite tightly-cut, so I got a 48 long. I'm about 5'11, so the long size is just right except in the arms. The belt will also require removing, as real Army tunics should not have the belt sewn down. That's the RAF who do that. Anyway, with a bit of tailoring, I'll have a first-class tunic at a great price. Very pleased.

Detailed Review
(2016-06-23)
I'm happy with this tunic. But I want to give the review I would like to have read when considering this item.
PROS:
Price is good.
Fabric is sturdy, substantial .(Tunic is un-lined).
Fit is good.
Available in Tall sizes!
Attached belt is not difficult to remove (if you have a seam ripper).
Tunic includes some surprising details:
1) Nifty watch pocket in the right waist
2) Sweat guards in the armpits
3) Buttons are attached military-style through sewn eyelets.
CONS:
Does not come with brass belt hooks as described. (I considered asking WPG to send them to me, but the tunic does not have the eyelets and re-enforcing to install them. Judging from the reviews, an earlier run of these tunics may have been made differently than mine).
The attached belt was of the wrong size for my coat (several sizes too large)
After its first washing, about 3/4 inch of a pocket-flap seam opened up (due to not enough selvage around the seam), so I had to repair it.
The buttons are held on by small (modern) split rings instead of the toggles and washers that would make them secure and less likely to wear/pull through.
To answer another question I had: The tunic is made in Pakistan, and was shipped from Dubai. After reading on-line about some dodgy suppliers of WW1 reproduction items, I was skeptical. But the service was amazing, and I got my items in about four days (trousers, tunic, and belt).
I would say it's still a good deal for a unique item that feels like the real thing. Just expect to do some minor adjustments/repairs, as well as buying some toggles and washers to secure the buttons in the proper way.
Because of the good price and the distance the tunic traveled to get to me, it seems right not to expect or demand perfection.

Wow
(2016-06-22)
I'm amazed that I can order a tunic that feels so substantial and appears fairly well made in Pakistan from a company in Dubai and have it show up at my U.S. home in less than five days. And for these prices.
Like others, no brass belt hooks on mine, and the fabric belt doesn't have holes to match the size tunic I got. But I will either add holes, or simply use the web belt I bought.

UK Khaki Drill Officer Tunic
(2015-10-22)
Well made and stitching OK. Sleeves came finished (and, as it happened a perfect fit). Easy enough to remove the stitched on belt but the brass belt hooks were missing. WPG sent replacement hooks but there are no eyelets into which to fix them. So seem a bit of an afterthought. So excellent for WW2 but needs some work for a WW1 impression.
Still not quite right.

I wear a size 43 men's regular coat.
The khaki Brit officer's coat I got (the size 44) was too big across the shoulders. This was returned to the California address and another sent PDQ. This size 42 fits better but I find the shoulders are still a bit too wide and the cloth waist belt is also far too long for the size of coat. The buckle end needs to be 2 1/2" shorter while the other end of the belt with the three sets of holes needs to be 3" shorter.
Service was great and delivery remarkable speedy.

The quality of the workmanship is superb, these items are basicaly free, you can't make them at this price. Trust me, I am a costumier with 30 years of experience. If you don't like the stitched in waist belt it will take you all of 30 seconds to liberate it. The fit favours those of a more ample midrif so if you are of a more sveldt build you may need to adjust the fit. Buy one, you won't be disappointed (measure yourself properly, and tell the truth!)
Here we go again.

I found the shoulder length to be too large. The shoulder straps hung beyond my shoulders down onto the arm.

Very good item though the belt, which is removable, does take a bit of effort and skill to unpick the stitches. Delivery and service were prompt and excellent.
nice quality and fit, some tailoring to do
(2015-04-01)
Nice quality and material. Sleeves a bit too long, but I expected that. cloth belt was stiched on, and not loose with hooks provided for the sam browne belt, but I could easily fix that.
On two of the pockets, the buttons were loose without having the rings to retain them in place. I could easily solve that, but it is a small quality issue.

Overall quality is good, however the RAF KD tunic I purchased a few years ago was better. Two areas could stand improvement: The finish of button hole stitching, especially the large holes, is poor. Also, the seams on the right arm twist slightly from top to bottom.
Service and delivery were excellent as always.

Ordered a 52L, advised they only had a 50 but received a 52L, good attitude shown by Warehouse Manager in finding one in my size! Added Australian Red Cross buttons so it looks a treat, just need to add WW2 blackened metal buckle and it will look like an original tunic, cheers Kim

Excellent quality in stitching, material and style. I have a 42 chest, and the 42 is a snug fit, but that''s how they wore them back in the olden days. Sleeves need taking up, understandable and buttons a little light weight, no biggy there. For the price, you''ll get no better.

Good fabric and color. All seems have shrunk after wash which has somewhat spoiled appearance. Please use nylon thread instead of cotton.
KD service dress jacket
(2011-12-04)
This is a well made garment the only reason have not rated it a 5 is that I expected it have a removable cloth waist belt and on the recieved item it was stitched in place, plus the brass hooks offered as an option for wear with a Sam Brown belt were absent. However WPG offered to get the belt removed at the factory if I returned the jacket to them and are sending me the brass hooks post haste. I have decided to get the belt removed locally as it will be inexpensive. I am informed future runs will not have this problem. The size fit (apart from the sleeve length) is good, I am a 44 chest and 6ft 0 ins tall and the 44L was almost perfect, only having a jacket made to measure would do better. The sleeves do require alteration as the cuffs are extra long to allow for tailoring to length but bearing in mind the price of the jacket adding the cost of a professional alteration keeps the cost within my budget. One small point, the edging to one of the front button holes has not been completed and will need attending to as the edges are fraying. Overall quality of construction compares favourably with original examples examined. Delivery was surprisingly quick, quicker than orders I have placed for items within the UK, and response to my concerns over the belt was prompt.
Looks Good

I have to take it to a tailor to get the arms fitted. It is made with sleeves for a gorilla with ends, so you'll have to do that too, unless you can do your own tailoring. Otherwise it is fine.
Very impressed
(2011-06-29)
Extremely quick shipping (4 days, and sized true (order larger if a roomy fit is desired). The unhemmed sleeves allow me to hem to perfect length- a nice touch. Very nice quality material and good stitching with excellent attention to detail. Will order again.

Excellent quality. I wear a 42 and ordered a 44 for a perfect fit. I am 6 ft 1/2" tall and I think The 44L may have been a tiny bit better for me. I do not plan to shrink this item so I will be ok. Fast Delivery...UAE to Cali = 3 days.

Well made except for earlier comments about overlocking on button holes. Delivery excellent - a tribute to the good work of the UAE warehouse staff! Excellent tunic for WW1 Australian padre impression. Replaced Britsh buttons with period leather buttons and padre badges (added by me) on the collar. Cheers Kim

(2011-01-05)
The overlocking on the button holes needs to be reworked as the stitching will not stand up to constant wear and tear. Can I suggest the inclusion of an inner pocket on the right side for a shell dressing? My original tunic has this. Otherwise the standard of this hard to find tunic is very good and I would recommend it to buyers. I have bought two - one for a LightHorse officer and the other for a padre impression. Cheers, Kim

Excellent production of a hard to find tunic. Quality of workmanship superb, well detailed even down to fasteners on inside of top pockets.
I take a 44 shirt- ordered 44L tunic but much too small so have ordered larger size. Good delivery time and excellent liaison with factory. cheers Kim
