In 23 years I have never paid for any blue uniform (apart from a new hat). I’ve also not had anything since my initial issue (which still fits) and the updated bits as they have been released.
Aside from Number 1s and 5s I probably haven’t worn blues for over ten years. And I haven’t worn either of those at all for at least five.

Why would anyone in their right mind pay to buy uniform that their employer mandates they should wear? If the RAF couldn’t give me blue uniform that fits and is comfortable to wear that’s bad right? I’m not going to pay to get them off the hook.
The images look like a uniform that would probably be more comfortable and accommodating.
None of this changes the fact that I think we should just wear MTP day to day with RAF flashes.

The 1250 credit card format used to self destruct , and the laminated jobby before that used to delaminate, so its obviously up there with the quality standard, what you want is it [email protected] etched into a metal blank.

I'd agree with MTP with RAF flash for day to day work. My other thought was a lighter variant of the new RN working uniform. There will be cost and time savings with either of those options, and people may actually want to wear them, rather than the mess in the images on this thread.
If someone thinks that these uniforms will be used as a recruiting tool, I feel they are seriously misguided.

...With all the Gender neutralising going on....is all this kit 'Unisex' .....?
Seems like a lot of potential for mixing tops / bottoms there - it looks a nightmare to me to keep that lot controlled and people 'uniformally' dressed ......WO's will have a field day!

I would imagine they are test samples of the short listed designs to see which looks better in the physical form etc and what changes they need to implement.
Then a shorter list will be forthcoming as they address the issues the previous versions brought up, until a final design is selected and then binned due to financial constraints.
