Unfortunately I have need to make a black armband for my son to wear in his cadet uniform at my DFIL's funeral. The specific wording from the uniform regulations is: "Personnel in private mourning may wear a mourning band of black crepe, 8.3cm wide, around the left sleeve of the uniform, above the elbow".
So what does it mean exactly by "black crepe" & what could I uses as an alternative if I can't find any locally?
Thanks
Lizzy
