I double checked again, and they {Dickies}are not going to make "
BOYS " uniforms. The khaki men's shirts are really a utility work
shirt and Dickies is going to make them.
The new shirts from GPH has their patch already sewed into the
sleeves, but it is at the wrong distance from the top. and this patch
is really not the right size either. I have heard that this patch
also shrinks up and wrinkles that side of the arm sleeve.
I suggest you contact the Ranger Store of the South California
District, and they are having their own shirts made now and have a
maker making wonderful true strong sewed uniform shirts and pants.
They had their factory die 1000's upon 1000's of yards of material in
the same color vat. So all uniforms and pants will be the same and
look the same. In color and in style. They are very pleased with
these new factory custom made uniforms and Ranger Supply store from
Florida and North Cal & Nevada Districts are going to selling these
too. As their standard uniform. So call them about it, They buy 500
of one sizes at a time. I don't think you'll be disappoointed.
