Military Folk - Roll call!

[Mr Lefty]

Because women blouses normally button on the right. In civilian clothes I mean.... Dunno why they needed their uniforms changed though... All the females I've talked to hate it as they're used to the old way

Womens buttons are opposite of mens because it made it easier for the servants to button the womans clothes.

The multi-cam looks like a good effective pattern to me too, but where did you find that shirt? I could use that for hunting, looks comfy

I wore this is afghan, much better than wearing the regular ACUs under boddy armour, no zipper or velcro on stuff to get pressed into your body. The rank when worn on the acu over the zipper hits me right in the sternum and is very uncomfortable. This shirt pretty much fixes that, gets rid of all the useless pockets and velcro on stuff that is annoying.



I found the multicam shirt by searching for multicam.

The army will eventually go to multicam, blends much better than any other paterns out there
