T45 was an awkward one and depends who you listen to, RN wanted them asap, BAE wanted to declare ISD.... As a result, Daring was full of snags but the others arent half as bad. T26 will replace the T23s

The army has lost its smart look.

Parka style baggy jackets and brown boots? WTF is that about?

What was wrong with the shirt, hairy, Jersey, Mens Heavy Wool, stable belt, lightweights and black boots?

It all went a bit pete tong when CS95 appeared; comfy and reasonably practical, but you look like 5lb of st in a 10lb bag even if you are slick with an iron.

It also doesn't help that depending on the CO depends on how that unit wear their uniform, shirts tucked out or tucked in, belt on over the jacket or where normal people wear a belt - on their trousers. Then sleeves rolled up or rolled down, there's just no set standard anymore. And the brown boots you now get the option of 2 makes per purpose to insure a better fit which is a great idea if it was properly issued but often it's not so you can see people with a fabric brown boot or a leather brown boot it's just not what the title says UNIFORM
