Slightly off topic but...

I have a 1959 ex-Somerset AFS Matchless and have discovered that the Somerset Fire Brigade despatch riders wore Black battledress uniforms when riding the motorcycles. I have tried to find a suitable black battledress jacket, in the right size - 44" chest, without success. Has anyone had any experience of dyeing Battledress uniforms - brown to black?

Easy, The uk prison service did it for years, Andrew.h.
