We need the red fleece to be like the old blue one with the pocket on the breast!

request deeper pockets so things doesn't fall out of pocket, plus shirt pocket on polo shirt and go back to blue/navy and no more shitty grey or red :) and also more space for men's testicles area on shorts/trousers

Soaking wet 739 and it still writes clearly on it. This should be standard issue by RM.

Even that would be an improvement!
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Re: Not another uniform ??
Has ANY of the new uniform made an improvement over the items it replaced?
I know some of my colleagues, who are unable to use an iron, love the polo shirts.....IMO I think they look scruffy. However as most of the same people also seem unable to operate a bar of soap or a razor it's no wonder they like them! 
I say bring back the Harrington Jackets ....A very functional piece of kit with plenty of pockets. The point raised about socks is very valid......I go through expensive hiking socks very quickly..... But I doubt if we'd get a decent brand........probably go along the same lines as the Footwear.

there should be approval board from postal workers. if everyone is happy in one major delivery office it should be good enough.

Can I have trousers with knee pads sewn into them so that at the end of my park and loop delivery when I collapse in a heap at least my knees will get a soft landing.

Total waste of time if you're left handed with a pile of mail in your right hand when you need to get at the pen, likewise the pocket that's on the right leg as well....

jacket to compensate
If you take the fleece off and just go with the cagoule you die of hypothermia within 5 minutes.
Why not wear a t-shirt under your shirt then, that should stave off your "hypothermia"?

So this style would definitely be of no use for your little *cough* "problem". Or your heart for that matter?
Then again, this is unsafe. From a Health and Safety point of view that is, of course.
