Hi, I come from a military family and married a military man. We had uniformed page boys at our wedding and my son has since been one at my nrother's wedding. In both cases, the regiments concerned held a stock of the uniforms and I just had to give a load of measurements and the best fitting ones were sent over to me. Maybe 3 Para is different but you should certainly get your brother in law 2B to check with the QM before you get one made. Failing that, you can be sure he isn't the first 3 Para to have uniformed page boys so he should ask around all the married officers to ask if they have their own version you can borrow. If you are having one made, you should really go to a specialist military tailor (your bro in law will know which one specialises in his regiment) as the army are obviously sticklers for detail when it comes to uniforms and if it is not "just right" there will be comments. Good luck!
