here what I think
new fleece, dpm with shoulder reinforced area and elbows. Name tag and rank slider. this would allow greater use of this piece of kit.
i think the norgie or artkis version is gone so that good a lighter version would be better.
issue shirt to be made of rip stop material
issue trousers to have a pocket just above the ankle. handy if you are a driver to get things.

However, for just the above reasons, a shirt made out of a single layer of smock material (ie ripstop polycotton) would be a very good idea, as there are occasions where the smock is too heavy, but the DPM shirt tends to wear very quickly and tear easily compared to the smock. A poachers pocket in the arse of the smock would be nice too, since you always carry some survival kit in your smock that you won't need at a moment's notice, and which would provide some padding for your CEFO bouncing off your arse while running
Other than that the personal clothing is spot on, some of the best there is.

I'd like the old buttons for braces back on the DPM as they were on the Greens.... No matter, they are buttons and can be sewn in but it would be handy.
No probs with shirt but as said earlier, it needs to be tougher and less prone to fading.
Smock need to be lighter..... something along the lines of a heavy shirt. It is murder wearing it in the summer.
Would like Lanyard holders sewn in but again easily fixed with needle & thread.
A lot of work goes into a new smock.... from burning threads to reinforcing velcro. Handy if it came complete.

There is a new DPM fleece on the way made by lowe alpine, its replacing the norgie and the present fleece. There is also a new water bottle compatible with the new respirator the avon fm12. New Dress boots also, brown for officers, black for other ranks hust coming in service now. As for getting a shirt made from a single layer of the smock material good idea but you need all the pockets the smock has for commanders admin in the field!!
