Senior Member Corporate Uniform

Yes; Here we go again.  I mean no disrespect Lt. but it's the same old stuff. The only part of "Commercial dress trousers of medium gray flannel, tropical worsted, or similar commercial blend, full cut, straight hanging" is the medium gray part. I see it interpreted in a range of shades. Mine look medium gray to me because I spent more for them and they fit great. I saw a Col with gray BDU trousers but that's all he could find that fit. This topic will quiet down and come back again.

Is there no common sense left out there? (not a personal fang at you, Bill)

Go to the store, ask for medium grey, and see what you get. Both brands I get say "medium grey" on the tags. I'm sure other brands do as well. Charcoal is too dark; light is, well, too light. As I said above, take a pair of rank sleeves with you, and get what matches.

This isn't rocket surgery!

Although we have discussed the gray trousers before, I'm pretty sure I've never heard anyone proposing the simple solution to try to match the trousers to the color of the gray epalet. 

Short of requiring everyone to buy the same brand, style, and color of trouser from a specific manufacturer, that seems like the single best idea out there for trying to achieve some level of uniformity for those pants. 

However, this is still to vague to make a specific requirement, but could potentially be inserted into 39-1 as a general guide to what CAP means by medium gray.

God help us, you know they'd start producing epalets in all sorts of shade variations then...

Of course they're laughing. What's a RM uniform?

[SarDragon]

I think the reference is to a RealMilitary™ uniform.

I'm sure Vanguard would like that...

Rocket surgery? What's that?

[Al Sayre]

It's kind of like Brain Science...

[stratoflyer]

Uh huh, ok. Makes sense now!
