Yeah, sure....when I was 18. Still have my size 38 dress uniform, but it seems to have shrunk some over the years...

Likewise!  Maybe not even then!

Ned, even if it fit around you, the sleeves would probably be above your elbows!

My Christmas present got here yesterday. The 1899 blouse is the last piece of the new uniform, unless you count a sun helmet. I opted to sew the hooks for the epulates myself so I have a little work to do yet, but it looks pretty good and fits nicely.

Looking forward to June! 8)

Quartermaster Shop.
I don't have an original to compare it to, but it looks good. I do know that the clips on the epulates are the wrong size, but that's a pretty minor issue.
