We’ve not be posting pictures for a while as we’ve been very busy making caps for our police forces! Samples are now being made and this one is our interpretation of an old sample sent in by a customer #marchingband #bandcap #madeinliverpool #makeitbritish

#Fridayfact This American octagonal security cap made us ask why US police have octagonal caps. The 8-point caps were introduced in the early 1930's. The 8 points commemorated the eight-member Rattle Watch, the first officially recognised police force on Manhattan Island.

#ThrowbackThursday Looking through the archive, we found this British Rail cap which was made prior to 1982 by H Berwald & Co. We purchased this company in '82 and re-located from Hanover Street to Kempston Street. Additional space was required to cope with the increased business

#Fridayfact The #RoyalMarines selection culminates with a 30-mile speed march through Dartmoor moorland. Perhaps this is why a team of 8 serving and former Royal Marines hold the Speed March world record. They completed a marathon while carrying a weight of 40lbs in 04:16:43

#Fridayfact inspired by the #REME caps made this week. The badge shows a horse standing on a globe. Behind the horse there is a lightning flash. The flash symbolises electrical engineering, the globe stands for the worldwide role, the chained horse symbolises power under control.

The Royal Signals logo is a figure of Mercury holding a herald’s wand, but to members of the Corps it's affectionately known as "Jimmy”. Why Jimmy? The widely accepted theory is that it came from a very popular Corps boxer, called Jimmy Emblem, who was an Army Champion in 1924
