Pictures still not visible folks."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Yeah.I knew there were some issues with the sizes.All part of the drive to align the military sizes with civi sizes.IE if you take an XL in a civi shirt you will take the same in a military one.
So in short if you take a large go another size up etc.The wing lads had the same problem with the new UBACS.If you asked for your previous size the sleeves were too short!
Any chance of a few photos cooley??"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt.

Yes.Because that's a must have
I tell you though if we had all had them on CIT back during the heatwave recently I would have given the order to just wear them under the CBA and BV.Sick of being soaked when I take off my flakker on hot days 'cos the shirts soak up the sweat(old shirts.new ones much better)."Let us be clear about three facts.

And yes, Mrs TD couldn't figure out either why I had to wear T-shirt and DPM shirt in the recent heatwave either
Try telling someone of the non informed fraternity "becuase that's what the dress regulations say...""Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.

Not a fan of the DPM Driflo under DPM shirt look at all."Many a time a man's mouth broke his nose"
