They had very bad feedback on the new storm jacket so they have pulled it and gone back to the drawing board.

These comments about people not having enough shirts etc..... are you telling me that everyone's going to bin ALL their Old Uniform? :hmmmm

Has anyone been told to bring in ALL their Old Uniform and Skip it? I still wear a Navy Blue Harrington Jacket that's nearly 20 years old and nobody's said anything about it. Are there Delivery Offices out there run by DOMs that are so Anal that they've got time to worry about what their staff are wearing? :shock:

If they are that Anal they'd be better spending their time making sure their staff's kit is washed occasionally, instead of looking like a bunch of Tramps. :cuppa

They actually listen to feedback? Must've been really bad then. But if it was that bad how did no-one notice before sending it out for trials?
