Fat Chimp Forces Wear & Gifts: clothing and gifts for the British military community

Fat Chimp Forces Wear & Gifts is a UK-based online store specialising in clothing and gift items related to the British armed forces. The project was born with the idea of offering quality products with meaning to those who serve and those who support them, and has spent a decade dedicated to making embroidered garments, printed clothing, military gifts, and custom items.

The company presents itself as veteran-owned and veteran-run, with a track record of supporting the British forces community. Its catalogue is organised around collections ranging from everyday wear to presentation and commemorative items.

Clothing and accessories by regiment and corps

The clothing range includes T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts, jumpers, jackets, gilets, shorts, underwear, socks, beanies and hats, gloves, scarves, and ties. Many of these garments are sold with embroidery or prints referencing specific regiments and corps of the British Army, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Air Force.

The site allows browsing collections dedicated to cavalry and armoured regiments, Army corps and regiments, infantry regiments, as well as the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, and the Royal Air Force. There are also specific sections for veterans, such as those dedicated to Falklands veterans, Bosnia veterans, Gulf War veterans, Operations Granby, Herrick, and Telic, and Cold War veterans.
