About Us

First founded in 1965, E. C. Snaith at first was a dedicated Royal Air Force supplier. Since then it has branched out to become military outfitters & tailors to the entirety of the UK Armed Forces selling uniforms, uniform accessories & equipment online to the consumer and to the trade.

Since 2004 it has been part of the Firmin House group along with Kashket and Partners, military tailors, and Firmin & Sons, button and badge makers, armourers and sword cutlers. The oldest part of the group has been continuously manufacturing in the United Kingdom since 1685 making it one of the country’s oldest manufacturers and suppliers.

Unlike many direct sale companies this means we understand manufacturing and product development, not just selling. If there is anything you can't find, or even something entirely new, please do get in touch. We'll be happy to develop a bespoke product with you.
