Jolly Jack gets a new outfit

[Twister_Ken]

Looks a bit like a dustman without the hi-vis vest.

 

[Bru]

Looks a bit of a scruff if you ask me, standards are clearly slipping!

 

[sailorman]

Once JT irons in those creases it will smarten up a bit

 

[capnsensible]

Shouldn't take long for submariners to reduce it to sub dustman level.....

 

[oakleyb]

Jack to stbd should try the iron when its on !

 

[ronsurf]

+1

It fits where it touches, though I have seen smarter binmen.

 

[Bru]

To be fair, on reading a bit more about it there does seem to be some significant practical improvements over the existing working dress. It's just a pity they didn't make a bit of an effort to turn out the rating in the photo a bit more smartly!

 

[LadyInBed]

These don't look much better!
You would think they could get trousers to fit.

They are the Fitzall twins

 

[Dave-Shafa]

I think they look very attractive and I had a shirt like the one on the right when in the Merch stole it offava matelot from South Hampton

looks to me as if starboard matelot is the same chap as port matelot.

Nice to see they've kept the Steaming Batts..

The light blue shirt on the right is the old kit which is being replaced.

 

[NOHOH]

Will unused examples of the old kit be sold off in Navy Surplus Stores?............... I wouldn`t mind updating the string vest if the price was right

 

[LONG_KEELER]

The one on the left has something half way down his right leg.

Ferret ?

I think they are no longer - tits tats and steaming bats !

 

[st599]

Shame they didn't get any boats to go to sea in.

My son has just deployed for 9 months with the new kit, it will be interesting to see how it survives and what they think of it in use. I may just get my old stuff back for use when fitting out next year!
