In the mid-eighties, M&S did a shirt that was quite acceptable in colour-terms, and was as smart as an arse. No epaulettes though. Particularly good collar.
As for the cheese-cutter hat on a dfferent thread, I was the first to wear one at Muharraq in '70 (or thereabouts) - much to the annoyance of OC Eng, who asked me to report to OC Admin, with a reason. First time that I was able to tell a Senior Oficer that he was out of order, ignored him, and walked on. Plonk.
