Agreed.The pockets should have been left as they are though or slanted backwards.
With the new design anything thing bulky in the thigh pockets will be under the front of your leg when prone.
Comfy.
Not.
Stopping things falling out is moot as they have returned to the foldover design on the inside and the pocket has two buttons."Let us be clear about three facts.

Just heard that there is a new marksmanship badge on the cards.I wonder is this to replace the current one(Proposed circa 2006) or the DF 10 badge mentioned in TM 623?"Let us be clear about three facts.

We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!"

Yeah a metal one was proposed years ago.
The design at the time was that it would be suspended by the button of the right chest pocket on the SD tunic.I dunno if that design went any further.
As an aside Tailored Image got the SD contract for 2018-2020 and Seyntex got the contract for the DPMs for the same time period with 3 x 1 year extensions allowed for on both contracts."Let us be clear about three facts.

Finalised Dress codes went live on the IKON main page today.
Missing a few points though about HOW you wear the UBAC(tucked in etc and how badges are worn) and despite confirming winter dress dates it does not confirm what we already know about sleeves down etc.
Dress code posters to be sent to units also for notice boards.
D Ord roadshows continuing showcasing the new kit.Has anybody been to one??"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.
