Multiple reports say the Royal Navy is planning to spend about £200,000 redesigning a women’s ceremonial uniform jacket after internal feedback about the placement of buttons. The issue concerns the “No 1 jacket,” which is typically worn for ceremonial occasions. According to the outlets, the buttons on the current version are positioned in a way that has been described as inappropriate, with critics pointing to how the button layout aligns with the body. One report also states that the current jacket design may be replaced or altered to address the concern, and that an internal document sets out that the changes are covered at the Crown’s expense. The cited cost figures are consistent across the articles, and the reports describe the planned work as a uniform adjustment rather than a broader policy change. The news coverage presents the matter as an internal review and redesign of the jacket, aimed at changing the button placement for future ceremonial wear.
