The belts, shoes, boots I wore, I bought from clothing sales; as did every officer I served with. If designer duds were worn, it was well above my pay grade, and I had a bonus.
With all due respect, you seem to infer something that is probably not so. At several bases I was stationed at, Plattsburgh AFB to name one, our enlisted below E-4 were on food stamps. Hard to buy designer duds if you are close to starving.

Excellent point RF1,When your on food stamps it's hard to believe your thinking about designer clothes........
