    Never been much on rules...and do enjoy blending cultures and fashions. If I was a lady I'd be wearing one of them red hats in a heartbeat :-D

    Ron[/QUOTE]

    Would that be as in 'red hat and no drawers'?

    I had to ask.

    I supose I ought to get out more.

    Ron, I may be off the mark here, but most Scottish schools have a school 'uniform' that students are required to wear to class. When you have to wear a logo, five days a week, it takes a bit of the thrill out of wearing it on the weekends too.

    I wear a uniform shirt with the embroidered logo of the company I work for and the very first thing to hit the laundry basket is that shirt, every single night. I have zero desire to wear a sweatshirt with that logo on it, when on my own time.

    How many veterans do you see wearing G.I. clothing, once they have been discharged?

    Good point Mike.

    I wore one of those company uniforms for years too, and police, and fire dept.

    Didn't realize they still used the uniforms at the university level though.

    My dad, a combat fighter pilot in War 2 for the R.A.F. and Army Air Corps (Dieppe, Kassarine) was glued to his old A-2 jacket. Course they are a fine jacket.

    The few sacred visits I've had to "The Wall" have seen many vets in the gear of their era. Don't know if they'd wear it day-to-day or just for the pilgrimage to that most holy site.

    I don't imagine they do uniforms at the Uni level, but by that time, ordinary, non-descript street-clothes are probably the order of the day.
