Hi Nagashino
Yes you're absolutely right about the tailoring of trousers for around camp, I used to stitch my denim's as well as only ironing them on one side, after a while became a bit two tone. Won't tell you what I did to my parade shoes, but it did save an awfull lot of bulling, had to be careful about craking them though, as they'd then be fubar'd and have to fork out for some new ones. I learnt this from my time as a squaddie, before going to Sandhurst, as I had travelled around the worldwide after passing my RCB, my regiment thought they'd best get my mind and body back into the army way of thinking, so had to enlist for a potential officers course, which was the thirteen weeks of basic training for the Queen's Division at Bassingbourne Barracks, Royston, that was sheer hell, the NCO's knew we were going to be officers, so beasted us more than normal.
Who did you serve with?
Off the point I know, so sorry Clinton, should have sent Phil a PM.
Regards
Tim
. We had a tailored pair for depot and standard cut ones for out in the bundu. I don't think they do that nowadays from what I've observed.
