Film & Uniform Hire

Our Recent Film Work...

 
 

LA BEAUTÉ DU MONDE (2022)

We have been very fortunate to support the production of La beauté du monde at the Opéra de Montréal by acting as historical advisors and providing a vast array of items including uniforms and insignia.

Quebec playwright Michel Marc Bouchard is back at Opéra de Montréal with an original libretto about the epic rescue of artwork from the Louvre. This time, he teams up with composer Julien Bilodeau. A proof of the inestimable value of art and beauty. Showcasing this production at the Opéra de Montréal, it is well-established in Montreal, at the crossroads of North American and European culture, and it acts as a catalyst for the city’s artistic creativity and celebrates Quebec and Canada’s rich vocal heritage, showcasing opera at its most diverse and daring. From great classics of the opera repertoire and innovative new works from home and abroad, to a training program for the finest young Canadian singers and outreach efforts in the community and educational system, the Opéra de Montréal offers unforgettable operatic events at which everyone is warmly received and feels welcome. For more information, you can visit their website here.

 

HANDMAID’S TALE (2021)

This internationally acclaimed and successful drama series was another fantastic opportunity for us. We were extremely honoured to provide the full officers attire including uniform, insignia and caps, for season 4 which was Emmy nominated!

If you haven’t already watched it, we highly recommend you do! You can catch it on Channel 4 on demand here.

 

PARALIGHTWORX (2018-PRESENT)

We are extremely proud to work with ParaLight WorX and supply them with their uniforms, equipment and insignia needs!

They are leaders in re-enactment short films and have reached a global audience, they’re not to be missed! You can check them out here.

 

NAZI MEGASTRUCTURES (2017-2019)

We are extremely proud of the opportunities that allowed us to work on the TV series “Nazi Megastructures” (or “Nazi Mega Weapons” as known in the US); seasons 4, 5 and 6 including a one-off special “Russia’s War”.

Whilst supplying the uniforms, we also provided on hand support during filming to ensure the uniforms were readily available, worn correctly and altered to fit the characters for each scene.

As well as aiding the costume department, we were also thrilled to be the historical advisors on set with the production team and actors and provided guidance on how the characters would behave including; the correct salutes, weaponry and patrolling for example.

We are extremely pleased with the final outcomes!

 

Fury (2014)

We are particularly proud of our work on the film Fury, starring Brad Pitt. We supplied a range of insignia, equipment and uniforms over the course of several months and it is really satisfying to watch the film in its entirety knowing we lent a helping hand!

We have a range of items influenced by the film for sale, as well as genuine props taken from the set.

 

Inglorious Basterds (2009)

Quentin Tarantino's 2009 multiple award winning box office smash "Inglourious Basterds" follows the fictional story of First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (played by Brad Pitt) as he leads his team of Jewish Allied soldiers on a mission to assassinate the Nazi Party Leadership. The film earned over 320 million dollars in cinemas worldwide, making it Tarantino's highest-grossing film to date, and received rave reviews from critics.

Despite claims made by some other sellers, all the uniforms for the main actors came from a Polish company. However, Epic Militaria were a significant supplier to the film, providing a large amount of the insignia for the supporting cast. We were lucky enough to visit the film studios and whilst for obvious reasons no-one outside the cast and crew were allowed on set, we did get the chance to meet some of the folk behind the scenes and came away with a few juicy snaps of the costume department, including some of our own kit. Our boss, Julian, managed to get up close and personal with the uniform worn by Christoph Waltz, who won several prestigious awards for his performance as Austrian SS Officer, Standartenführer Hans Landa.

Iron Sky (2012)

Iron Sky is a sci-fi movie that takes place in the year 2018, when the Nazis, who fled the Earth to the dark side of the Moon in 1945, return to claim the Earth. Pictured below is a teaser shot of Costume Designer Jake sporting some of our kit. This movie drew a huge amount of interest worldwide and we thoroughly recommend a viewing!

Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead (2014)

We are proud of our involvement with Død Snø 2: Red VS Dead and would recommend a viewing as it is thoroughly entertaining!

The sequel takes off right where the first ended. For Martin, our hero from the first film manages to get himself to hospital, but that’s where normality goes right out of the window! This is a full on blood fest as Zombie Nazis take on Zombie Soviets with a little help from the Zombie Hunters.

If the first is anything to go by, the second will be insane! Having already premiered at the Sundance Film Festival we can now show our "behind the scenes” photo thanks to Linn on the Død Snø set.

We supplied a lot of the insignia and uniforms for the zombies this time around including Panzer uniform, Field grey uniforms and even our brand new leather Panzer wraps which have been given a good going over by the Død Snø Costume Department!

Kick Ass 2 (2013)

Although not strictly a military film, we were approached in 2012 regarding supplying a range of gear for the character played by Jim Carrey. Colonel Stars and Stripes is an iconic vigilante inspired in no small part by the look of the United States military. We were lucky enough to be able to supply insignia, ammo pouches and boots for the film, which makes it all the more satisfying when we watch the film!

 

Krieg (2014)

Currently in post-production, Krieg is a short-film by Jeff Fry. The film is "set in Spring 1945, as the Russians successfully advance from the East and Allied Bomber Command embraces the severe blitz of German cities, causing confusion in civilian evacuation and hampering the movement of German reinforcements from the West." We were fortunate enough to be asked by Jeff if we were willing to help back KRIEG with uniforms, insignia and medal to which we were only too happy to!

WW2 Uniform Hire...

In this section you will find our range of WW2 uniforms for hire. We have been selling these uniforms for quite some time now and thought it about time we offered them as part of a costume hire service. You can feel safe in the knowledge that you are wearing a historically correct outfit, that would pass muster with the most avid of re-enactors or historians. We have supplied many individuals, theatre groups, and films over the years including Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009), Iron Sky (2011) and more recently Fury (2014).

NOTE: Please try to make your booking at least one week prior to the required delivery date to avoid disappointment, we have limited numbers of these uniforms ready to go and it takes time to badge them up correctly.

The price includes delivery, and if you would like us to arrange the return of the uniform by courier for you there is the option to add on courier collection as well. You let us know the day and place and we will arrange the collection for you so this really is a stress free service.

The costume rental offers are only available in the UK. If outside the UK, please contact us directly and we will endeavour to accommodate your needs. Rentals are currently only available to customers based in the UK. Any rentals being delivered outside of Mainland UK or in the Scottish Highlands may be subject to further postage charges. We will be in touch should this be the case.

 
 

If you're looking to hire multiple uniforms for filming or an event then we can provide large scale rentals or discount on bulk purchases. We regularly supply companies with multiple uniforms, already badged up and ready to go!

This is an ideal service for anyone looking to throw a themed party or for production companies looking accurate period uniforms for filming.

If you are interested in more than one uniform, please get in touch with us either by email or phone and we can give you a quote. Please be aware that for every uniform hired a deposit will need to be taken, but these are fully refundable once we receive the uniforms back in the same condition.
