    Well done that man.......


    Looks like theyve gone back to real "Silks". Nice, all they have to do now is go back to horizontal creases in the trolleys.

    Hate to disillusion you but they're not the silks you and I know and spent many happy hours folding and sewing. They come ready made and clip on the front and velcro'd under the collar to allow for different lengths although they are seperate to the suit.

    Edited to add the tapes are already tied and stitched to the silk.
    Sh1t shot, pumping slop.

    Best looking branch in the fleet ill think you'll find, without the divers need for hairgel and a mirror on every bulkhead!
    If in doubt, tab up.

    As I have a foot in each camp, I benefit from these too although the hairgel is pretty much surplus to requirement these days.
