Mr. Boyce Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My new shirt's filled with gussets and tussets, billows and loopy things here and there. I'm tempted to buy some cloth and find a good tailor and have a shirt made for me without all the extraneous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA24 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 A military surplus store will sell you a khaki navy officer's shirt. It is much, much nicer. You can get it embroidered with Boy Scouts of America over the right pocket and decorate it up, and no one will notice. If you are of athletic build, you will find these fit far better as they are not designed for 400 pound men. There are at least four different khaki shirt designs in circulation right now - maybe five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertrat77 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I concur with BSA24. Our latest crop of scout uniforms seem designed expressly for the sedentary/powerpoint aspects of scouting. Mil surplus khaki shirts are really good stuff. And lately it appears ebay has had a bunch of old adult size scout shirts from the 50s and 60s, when uniforms were well made and suitable for outdoor use.

ScoutBox Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I want to find several ODL XL SHort Sleeve shirts for my needs Hard to find now days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortridge Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 So we complained for years that the ODL shirt was too indoor-dressy. We got a new shirt supposedly designed for more active experiences. And we then complain it's too gussied up. If I were in Irving, I'd be pulling my hair out now. What do we want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutBox Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Good point Shortridge.. i like the new shirts. But find them too delicate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnponz Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The new shirts are great and hold up well in the outdoors (if something goes wrong they are warrented for life-you cannot get better than that). Some people will complain no matter what. You cannot please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutBox Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I didn't know they were warranted for life. My sons needs to be replaces. His WEBELOS Den Leader Award has rubbed it up pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
