Henry, I can say that you did cut a fine image of a professional officer in your uniform. Some, like me who had gotten a little thick in the middle didn't look quite so good and the old, first generation vests kind of contributed to the not so great look. A little better when the form fitting ones built into the pull over shirt were worn but then, if you got hot, sweaty and out of breath, it was hard to breathe and get it off.
