I was just wondering what is the best/easiest way to take trousers up?

I have never done this before, so step-by-step would be great

Cheers

Leave him alone ! Luke you are a total kit monster but its not a bad thing, better than hanging round street corners in a hoodie drinking cheep booze from tesco ! As long as you understand you may not wear this stuff very often.

Well your wrong :P

I know atleast 4 people in the ACF with Barrack Dress. Tbh, its not a waste of money because I am going to get my money's worth out of it!

Wearing it at detachment and what not. So :P

There is NOTHING wrong with Barrack Dress, No2 dress, No8 dress. So lets just leave it at that. I like barrack dress (:

[war moger]

No8. Dress Temperate Disruptive Patterned Material.

thats just what you wear normally. our CS95 gear. who has a problem with that.

[luke_mx88]

Exactly, proving that there's nothing wrong with either of them, so why can't I wear No.13's?

I think the main issue is one of uniformity, the vast majority of cadets at your det won't have barrack dress, so you won't all be wearing the same uniform. A possible exception could be if you are instructing drill.

[war moger]

which is when i wear mine.

i wear No. 13 Dress (Temperate barrack dress) or No. 14 dress (Shirt sleeve order) twice a month. when im teaching drill.

admittedly i just wear 2's trousers.

[luke_mx88]

Yes, that's what i'll be mainly using them for. But there is also another cadet staff sergeant who wears Barracks at my det. I just like to look smart, I like too feel smart in smart uniform, who doesnt?

Luke, I have no issue with you expressing your views, but try to be a little more mature in your approach, it certainly isn't mature to argue:
"Your wrong and I'm right, there is nothing you can do about it"

If you are getting value for money thats good, but in my view it isn't, because I would be the only person with this dress, so it wouldn't be remotely uniform, I would only use it twice a month and this to me doesn't justify to cost.

[war moger]

to be hones FYI, you can pick up barrack dress for under a tenner.

7 quid form feild textiles

wear them 7 tims and its a quid a time. not too bad ay.

Not a chance :

1st place to Battle Dress Trousers
2nd place to 1968 Pattern No.2 Dress

Wearing either gives a nasty case of St Vitus Dance
