Keeping Our British Military Looking Sharp: Tailor & Chess Has Their Six 🇬🇧✂️

There’s something undeniably iconic about the British military uniform. It isn’t just fabric and buttons — it’s pride, precision, history, and honour stitched into every seam. And here at Tailor & Chess in Market Drayton, we’re making sure our servicemen and women look every bit as sharp as the reputation they carry.

Whether it’s button re-placements, sleeve adjustments, size alterations, or making sure that rank patches sit perfectly aligned — our mission is simple: keep our forces looking immaculate.

📍 Proudly serving Market Drayton, Shropshire, Telford, Stoke-on-Trent, Crewe, and the surrounding areas.

Why Military Uniform Alterations Matter

Uniforms aren’t just clothing — they’re identity. They’re how the world recognises the people willing to protect and serve. So when something doesn’t fit quite right? It needs fixing. No excuses.

At Tailor & Chess, we understand:

✔️ Precise measurements

✔️ Regulation-correct stitching and placement

✔️ Durability that survives training, deployment, and everything in between

✔️ Fast turnaround when service schedules demand it

Specialist Care for Army PCS & Dress Uniforms

From PCS combat shirts (like the one currently on our mannequin in the studio!) to No.2 dress jackets, medals, badges, and trousers — we treat each uniform like it’s going on parade.

We make sure:

✨ Collars sit crisp

✨ Buttons stay strong

✨ Camouflage pattern lines match

✨ Pockets and tabs stay perfectly positioned

Every detail matters — because it matters to the person wearing it.
