I don't think that they are talking the Ike jacket. There was a love-hate relationship with that even at the time ... as it would constantly ride up and need to be pulled down let alone not being very forgiving to any little change in body composition.
We need to get over this bad experiment and go back to what made sense. Class B's, Class A's (brown, or green....anything but what we have now) and then Dress and Mess blue uniforms. IF you are an NCO of whatever grade or below...no need to maintain a blue uniform wear A's with a bow tie as necessary. Officers and senior (read: Career) NCOs suck it up and buy the uniform and take a tax deduction...
Put the damn unit patch back on a new A uniform and get all the combat patch pins off the Dress Blues. Good lord... Black Jump Boots with Blue Pants with a yellow stripe tucked in with a white shirt and a Green Beret. What a disaster.
