Right from the start, ESMM adopted the white shirt, white trousers and purple baldrick which is still worn today. In the early days, however, the baldrick had blue, green and yellow rosettes rather than the oak sprig and Saxon crown currently used. Early photographs show that hats were not worn but that white shoes were de rigueur!

The official description of our regalia, as taken from our annual Programme is:

"White trousers, purple baldrick with oak sprig at front crossing and Saxon crown at rear crossing".

The Oak Sprig and Saxon Crown designs are illustrated at the top right of this page. Our footwear is now definitely black shoes and, despite lengthy discussions at some of our AGMs, ESMM do not wear hats!
