Not exactly the right group, but someone here will know, so I beg your
indulgence.
When I resigned my commission in the 1970s, double-knit dress blues were
authorized.
Recently, I began playing taps at military funerals as a volunteer, and
learned that wartime veterans are authorized (DOD directive 1334.1) to wear
the uniform of the rank we had at the end of wartime service while
performing that duty. Time to dust off the SDBs, but yikes! They're
double-knit. I don't think I'd want to wear those now even if they were
authorized, but I'm guessing they no longer are. Anyone here know?
Oh, and I'm definitely in the market for some used tropical worsted SDBs, 44
chest, 38 waist (no longer cadet sized, I'm afraid).
Best regards,
