How it all began

Founded in 2005, Tin Trousers began as a small business—originally known as Erin Military Tailoring—offering uniform alterations from a spare bedroom. As demand grew, so did we, moving first to HMS Nelson Wardroom before establishing our headquarters in Gosport.

Today, our team of skilled tailors continues to provide high-quality uniform tailoring for the Armed and Uniformed Services, preserving the heritage of traditional military craftsmanship.
