And now Goth and Emo kids pay top (parental) dollar for them.

I know. My daughter's not a size 11.5 though, sadly

Garrison boots. Thigh high, spit shine...

I want to start the rumour that Garrison dress is making a comeback, complete with boots & blousing.

Well, maybe if the crusty old people that still have Garrison Dress started wearing it, it might catch on. Friday is Halloween.

If I hadn't shredded all my tan short sleeve shirts...

I thought they were great for camping, fishing and yard work…till they shrank on me.

And the cam pattern is so awesome they'll be going as 'The Invisible Person', right?

And a year of mix and match lol

I for one will be wearing green as long as I can get away with it, same as I did with combats.

To be fair, the idea of garrison dress was not to mistaken as bus driver, milkman, delivery driver, etc. It was meant to combat the Forces invisibility on the street.

The days of irony: when we wore OD green to fight the enemy in the field and camouflage to fight each other in the office

From what I've seen, the new cut for the combat tunic that we're getting actually does look quite sharp. It looks like they'll be issuing OTW's for field wear, and a sharp, British-like tunic for garrison. Hopefully we'll get it tucked in with stable belts

I will neither confirm nor deny the existence of a draft 'No. 5A garrison dress' image on Sharepoint which shows the new combats with the shirt tucked in and a regimental stables belt represented by a royal blue canadian army stables belt.

I will share these images of the trial uniform that will be the new uniform (less some slight changes to the velcro):

Perfect for the MRes…

Has a real Space 1999 vibe to it.

Maybe we leave the MRes speculation in the other threads, and keep this one for being uniform nerds lol.

I don't think the MRes gets uniforms though.

I still stand by the Space 1999 vibe

Frankly if they had made the SSF smock service common, the Duck Hunter Nylon POS jacket would never have been needed - and tons of money wouldn't have had to been wasted with a new uniform.
It really was the cheap knock off of jump boots and the SSF Smock - and embarrassing at all get out to wear.

That is basically a clone of the USA Army Operational/Field and Garrison setup.

But if they let everyone wear the smock, the SSF wouldn't have been "Special".
