We are delighted to have made contact with and tied up with those chaps at Khaki Devil. Not only do they do costumes, they also offer lots of advice and are fantastic to deal with. Certainly better than some stuffy theatrical costume companies.
So read on, if you want to contact them do . Taff Gillingham who has a great deal of experience will only be too pleased to help you.
They may also be able to help with props. Ask - there may be an additional charge.  | Khaki Devil arrived on the hire scene in a mad rush and with a faint whiff of sulphur a few years ago.
The founders , Taff Gillingham and Kev Smith, are both collectors of Uniforms and Equipment and, in keeping with many others of the 'anorak' variety, would often bemoan the lack of accurate military detail in film, television or theatre productions.
Rather than keep complaining they have decided to use their knowledge to offer a service to those Directors, Producers, Costume Designers, Art Directors and other interested parties who want to get the details right.
It rarely costs any more to make a piece historically accurate than it does to make it painfully inaccurate! They offer a full service of Historical Advice, Training, Uniforms, Equipment, Specialist Extras and Locations - including probably the finest purpose-built Great War Trench System in the UK.
Their knowledge and expertise is often in demand and Taff has been interviewed on many programmes such as World War One in Colour, The Christmas Truce, Blue Peter, Richard and Judy, Channel 5's Gallipoli, Time Flyers and was flown to Washington DC for an interview about the Christmas Truce for the History Channel in the USA. He is also often a guest on Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Radio Wales.
Despite offering such a comprehensive service, they are, of course, aware that Amateur Dramatic Groups do not have the budgets of film and television companies or West End productions. Therefore they have recently established a service specifically aimed at the 'AmDram' market which is already proving popular. The standards are, of necessity, less exacting but the overall effects achieved so far have been extremely good.
