A block that mimics the calf, a block that mimics the shin, and then, depending on the amount we need to stretch them, we open them up to the appropriate size that we need for each individual.
MOUNTY OUTFIT SERIES
To stretch them, they are soaked in a tub and then we open them up with a series of blocks. Each pair of boots is fit to each individual cadet, whether that means stretching them or making them smaller. Rod Johnson: So, we look after all of the brown ceremonial leather. Each pair is handcrafted by the Alberta Boot Company before being sent to the leather shop at the RCMP Academy, where each pair is custom fit to each cadet. And about $500 of that cost is for the boots. According to the RCMP, the total cost of each cadet's uniform, including the Red Serge and their normal duty clothing, comes out to about 4,500 Canadian dollars. Narrator: If an officer outgrows his or her uniform, they simply request a new one at no additional charge to them. Narrator: Alterations for each tunic can take up to two days. We take them apart, we put them together, and do the alterations. Nila Filoteo: About eight of them are custom tailors, and the rest are general tailors, and general tailors usually do the pants and the breeches, and the custom tailors are the one that does the red tunic. Narrator: Here at the academy, a team of 20 tailors perform all the alterations for each cadet. Sean Lussier: Right now they're not as comfortable as you would think, but they are custom-made primarily for the look, so they're not gonna be as functional to do your everyday kind of job in them. They're made of wool and include a satin lining. The tunics are made by a company in Quebec before being shipped here, to the RCMP Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan. Along with the tunic, the uniform includes trousers known as breeches, a Stetson hat, a Sam Browne belt, and a pair of high leather Strathcona boots.
It's part of what's known as the kit that's issued to the 1,000 cadets that graduate from the RCMP training academy each year. Narrator: While this is what you're likely to see Mounties wearing in the field, the Red Serge is worn at ceremonial events. It makes you very proud to be here.Ĭadet: When you put it on, you feel pride.Ĭadet: I cannot believe it when I saw myself in the mirror. Each cadet gets fitted for their tunic about halfway through their 26-week training program.Ĭadet: It's a really exciting moment. The RCMP is Canada's federal police force, known worldwide for their iconic scarlet tunics, referred to as the Red Serge.
