Serious thread drift I know but when we were first issued with the Mk 2 Zuit suit jacket and trousers it was the norm to get them tailored to fit and the AVS slot in the trousers sewn up.

In those days officers had to go to a military tailor for any uniform items. As we were in the habit of actually spending money on the uniform we would dress smartly.

IMHO the rot set in when we started to get free issues of each new uniform as it came in. A new shirt, a new woolly pully, DMS shoes etc. Once we got in the habit of not paying so everything became cheap and nasty.

Still I hope the Vulcan stiffens a few backs.
