Below is a list of equipment and uniform that you will be required to obtain. Some of more importance than others.
It is comprehensive but bear in mind that you will not be required to buy everything right away. This is a complicated and precise impression that takes time to get right. We would rather you start with your basic uniform and work your way up from there. In some cases we may have extra pieces to lend for an event or two. As always, please confer with us first before buying anything!
