King's Guards: Uniforms
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has taken recent steps to develop faux fur King's Guards ceremonial caps.
- Answer
-
Our Guardsmen take immense pride in wearing the bearskin cap which is an iconic image of Britain, and the quality and sustainability of the caps is incredibly important. To date, and to the Department’s knowledge, no faux fur sample has been produced and tested which meets the standards set by the Department to provide an effective replacement for the bearskin ceremonial caps.
