1st of April???

Has to be. Plus I don’t think Tommy H or that bunch produce domestically. Is London Fog even made in the UK?

No. I don't think they're sold here either. Clearly an April Fools Day joke.

Hahaha

Available at *Base* Pro Shops, or *Bass* Pro Shops?

Dances with Wolves phase... Love it. As much as I love Pinks and Greens they look stupid with the issued visor. I would initiate a service transfer away from Army. The Blues looked stunning.

Visor?

Shitiest cap on the planet!

Give me Dances with Wolves any day!

 

[leper-colony]

Yer just jealous...

 

[ausreenactor]

Not at all...

That's a headdress! Have never changed it to make recruitment more attractive!

 

[Ed Rooney]

As long as you replace the shaper thing in the cap it’s fine. Most enlisted wear the overseas cap, so it’s not an issue.

I have one of those Dances With Wolves uniforms. It’s not a practical thing when you have to wear the class B version.

We roll the beret but the Grade 1 hat has to accompany medals...

I am distressed that the "digger" hat is no longer worn in to combat !

Ballistic protection is a thing these days... Did take it to Afghanistan every trip though.

 

[McNally]

The solution is simple: You get one large enough to fit over your helmet!

 

[Otter]

Or perhaps a kevlar weave, but I do love the above suggestion !

I'd have hated to keep the thing in shape over there mate
