Which sparked a thought...

If you have a warrant for a blue - does wearing an old faded one have more kudos - or just demonstrate a level of parsimony - or both?

And is the answer the same for wearing a red?

Of course! Faded and a bit tattered at the edges is a sign of a true old salt. Usually goes with baggywrinkle, ratlines in the rigging for the boat and a straggly beard for the skipper.

Very nice; trouble is, I took out a mortgage to buy a new RAYC ensign only last year :(
