Cathy
Comment: We hired an RAF uniform for my husband for the Goodwood Revival and were so pleased with the service (ability to order sizes online) and quality of the uniform hired! My husband really felt and looked the part! Unfortunately we had a very rainy Goodwood Saturday so will have to go again another year, and will certainly use Madhatters again!!
