  • Connect Winter Dress, DPM dress pull out

    Hey guys at some stage in the past was there a pull out in the connect magazine regarding DPM winter dress?

  • #2
    There was one way back when the DPM went on issue first. Maybe check with DF magazine website

      Yes, there was. I've got the photos from it on a ppt somewhere. I'd have to dig around for the actual Connect though

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.

          A just trying to find what was the official way to wear uniform for winter dress in the pull out, 2 people I know have 2 different ways of wearing winter dress, and both think they are right and that they got from the connect pull out.

              The shirt tucked in was to accommodate the wearing of the jumper..Since that is now off the clothing scale,the tucked in dress is gone.

                  I thought winter dress nowadays just means not rolling the shirt sleeves up, this is all completely dependent on unit SOPS.
                  Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

                    Winter dress: 30 Sept - 1 May. Sleeves down on shirt,shirt untucked .Long sleeve or shirt sleeve DRIFLO. Norwegian shirt worn(tucked in if outer shirt is shorter!!)UNDERNEATH and collar zipped if required.Smock worn as required.Shirt tucked in if DPM fleece is worn.

                    NB: Shirt sleeves are NEVER worn rolled with long sleeve DRIFLO or Norgie underneath.

                    PS: The Jumper is still on limited issue.Its wear is still authorised as winter field dress under A9. Worn with shirt tucked in and collars outside jumper.Or with Norgie shirt underneath.(IE if you still have a wooly pully and have it tailored properly it can be worn.Uniformity issue's would apply though when with a body of troops)

                      The only ones I've seen wearing the jumper over the past 3-5 years are Officers ..

                          They wouldn't be long getting rid of them if they had to carry them in "the field".
                          For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                            For many years the cardboard reinforced woolen jumper was the only warm gear the then FCA, had in the field! (They were crap but better than nothing).

                              DFHQ staff (all ranks) are still issued the jumper as are Customs clearence branch and NSRC staff.Basically anybody who has to wear SDNo3 as their daily uniform.
