Each brought with it a lineage stretching back to the Napoleonic Wars and beyond, and a tradition of light infantry tactics, individual initiative, and speed of movement that set the rifleman apart from the line infantry soldier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RGJ inherited that tradition in full. In their 41 years of existence, the regiment served in Northern Ireland throughout the Troubles — one of the most sustained and demanding operational commitments in the Army's post-war history — as well as in the Falklands, the Gulf, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq. They were known for their pace, their professionalism, and the fierce esprit de corps that characterised the rifle regiments from which they descended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, the Royal Green Jackets were amalgamated with the Devon and Dorset Regiment, the Light Infantry, and the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment to form The Rifles — the largest regiment in the British Army. The black buttons, the rifle green, and the traditions of the RGJ live on in The Rifles today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Tie\u003c\/h4\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":57055333220730,"sku":"TIE-MIL3-RGJ","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/TIE-112R-BensonAndCleggRoyalGreenJacketsSilkTie.jpg?v=1783621974","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/royal-green-jackets-three-fold-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
