If you do not have a Base tailor, ie are supported by a ResF unit QM who would normally have your DEU tailored for you, I highly recommend that you make contact with that QM to obtain the name of the local tailoring business that they are using to have their uniforms done at.
There should be a standing offer set up with a local company. If so, use that business as they will also have been provided with a copy of the applic dress regs, and will have experience at sewing on of DEU acoutrements. Better yet, you may find, that by contacting your QM to get this info, that if your requirement to "not wait a week for them" is legit, they may cover the cost of your tailoring. MAY. This must be pre-approved by them and if you attempt it after the fact, you are on your own.
Better still, you may find that the local contractor can provide a same-day service...again contact your Unit QM.
If you are supported by a clothing stores, I suggest contacting them and explaining your circumstances if they confirm it is indeed a week long wait for tailoring. If your reasons for not being able to wait the week are legit, ie a funeral etc, you may be pleasantly surprised when they tell you to bring your stuff in and they'll move it to the head of the line. It's happened. Alot.
If you are not in normal circumstances, simply explain that....do not just assume they will give you the standard response of a week long wait. After all, if you have not made them aware of your circumstances, and their ESP happens to be turned off today, they can't help you.
