As warfare became more mechanised and technical, it was clear that a dedicated corps of engineers, craftsmen, and technicians was essential — not just to fix what broke, but to keep the Army fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the tank workshops of the Western Desert to the forward repair teams of the Falklands, from the jungles of Borneo to the streets of Basra, REME has always been where the Army needs it most. Their work is rarely seen by the public — but without it, the guns fall silent, the vehicles stop, and the aircraft stay on the ground. Every Challenger tank that fires, every Apache that lifts off, every piece of precision weaponry that functions in the field does so in part because of REME.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Corps motto — \u003cem\u003eArte et Marte\u003c\/em\u003e, By Skill and By Fighting — captures the dual nature of the REME soldier: a craftsman first, a soldier always. REME personnel are embedded throughout the Army, working alongside the units they support, and when required, fighting alongside them too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis tie is for the artificers, the technicians, the vehicle mechanics, and the avionics engineers — the people who keep the British Army in the fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Tie\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by \u003cstrong\u003eBenson \u0026amp; Clegg\u003c\/strong\u003e, London's foremost makers of regimental and club neckwear since 1937, this three-fold silk reppe tie is constructed without an interlining — allowing the silk to drape and knot with exceptional weight and fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% silk reppe weave, three-fold construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade width approx. 9.0cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a Benson \u0026amp; Clegg gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57055373361530,"sku":"TIE-MIL3-REME","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/TIE-207R-BensonAndCleggRoyalElectricalAndMechanicalEngineersSilkReppeTie.jpg?v=1783622334","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/royal-electrical-mechanical-engineers-three-fold-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
