King Charles III will be coronated on Shabbos with oil consecrated in Jerusalem and wearing clothing sewn by an army of tailors in a Jewish-owned factory.
A Jewish-owned company, Kashket & Partners, is the main supplier of ceremonial outfits for British armed forces and also sews uniforms for the royal family, The Jewish Chronicle reported.
Chief executive Russell Kashket designed the uniform worn by Prince William at his wedding. The company is now sewing over 6,000 uniforms for the coronation, including for the king himself.
Kashket is the Yiddish word for cap. Over a hundred years ago, the family patriarch Alfred Kaskket, who was a milliner for the family of Tsar Nicholas II, fled Russia to the UK and began working as a tailor in Savile Row in London, specializing in military uniforms.
He later launched his own tailoring business, eventually passing it down to his son, who is now semi-retired. His grandsons, Russell and Nathan, now run the business.
According to the report, “every uniform has 23 individual elements taking 34 hours of tailoring and embroidery. Each garment is pressed and ironed up to 60 times and there is a 40-point check list that it has to pass before being allowed to leave the factory.”
The Kashket company also owns the military metalware firm Firmin & Sons, which has served the royal family since 1634. The company had a huge job on its hands with the changing of the monarchy – replacing every button and piece of metal with an ER to a CR. The company created 60 casts of different shapes and sizes for the CR crest – and all of them had to be shown to the king to receive his approval.
The coronation has kindled an interest in the royal family’s uniforms and BBC recently brought their cameras into the factory for a documentary called Coronation Tailors: Fit for a King.
Cheryl, the wife of CEO Russell told the Chronicle: ” It is very exciting and we realize how fortunate we are to be a part of history. To be involved in such a thing is phenomenal but it does surprise us that people are so interested in our part in it.”
“There were a lot of heated discussions and disagreements about whether we should do the television show or not but we just really did it for the staff who are so proud of what we have all done. This is to acknowledge their part in it.”

What’s Prince Harry going to wear?
How silly – all that work ironing, pressing, thousands of uniforms. For what purpose? Whole thing is idiotic in my opinion- this is 2023 cut out this monarchy nonsense. Get these people jobs.
In French cap is casquette
Left Russia to sew uniforms for nazis…. What a descent.
Being that I was born in the UK all those years ago I have to be a little respectful to the royal family but it’s so sickening to read this article. Respectfully, but if King Charles ever worked a day in his life he wouldn’t be so wasteful with money – especially not his money, in this case taxpayer’s money. But he lived a spoiled life (not that anyone I know is exactly jealous of him) but he’s he had everything given to him on a golden plate and so with no worries on his head he’s busy with the buttons and the ironing of these uniforms and all the other stupidity and sheer nonsense that absolutely no one will notice, much less care…
Very important to learn from this a M’aiyn of what the Malchus of Hashem is. This is only a moshel.
> Left Russia to sew uniforms for nazis
Indeed weird: if he were into nazis/commies, he could have stayed where he was!
B’H these guys left and saved their lives and businesses. Many stayed and lost both.
What’s the difference between Russians and Americans? Here is a story no one is talking about: Biden’s team sent some clothing to the Ukrainian Army that seemed to be nothing but a way to eliminate all of them as quickly as possible. A 100% polyesther “line” of uniforms, as a “gift”. When the issue was pointed out, believe or not by the Russian federation, Biden quickly got a new staff, then Zelensky and his army, were provided with new clothing made of cotton and whool. Russians make quality uniforms even for the British, when Americans were sending nylon to Zelensky… Check out the history of nylon, it was made by the IG farben, a nazi industrialist and beware of the fake news on Google etc…
Really wanna know who made the spodeks for the guards
Woopdy dou. 🫢🫠😵💫
Who cares?
Thank you again YWN for such a wonderful meaningful story.
Are their kids really Jews?
Or YWN sucking up to Royals?
Please let me know if they are really Jewish as you label them?
sounds like a camp of sorts….you have been whipped , my boy, Charles…almost like Archie Bunker….truly, we return to one….216 years to 6000….if by now we have not secured a huge sector to support and care we will walk back into Germany again because of reform woke and gosh how much more….wow, nazism….chubby fingers and all,,
Reminds me of the book “The Emperor’s New Clothes”
DDQ: when I see how Jews turn so friendly to the ones who were back then tyranizing them and sending them to camps, I feel Staline outrage, after all the people who gave their lives to save Jews, defeating this monster Hitler and the ones who allowed those attrocities, how can a Jew devote his work for this illegimate so called king?
During the mass rearmament of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, Britain agreed to allowing Hitler to expand German territory.
In 1938, German troops annexed Austria, followed by the UK, France and Italy all agreeing to Germany occupying the Sudetenland, a part of German-speaking Czechoslovakia.
none of us english intrinsically care about these matters, at the end of the day, CHARLES IS A LEFTIST MENUVAL; LIKE ALL THE……..
Zetruth:
So, you might want to start with the Zionists. When you finish learning about them, then you can reconsider your feelings about the British.
