Greetings, Centurions!

Here is a copy of the new supply list for pre-made Colonial Uniforms. (Revised 2015) with links, and grading in place.
Copied from Blackstar Squadron, where I am Supply Officer, thought I'd share with our Centurion foes. :evillaugh:
Copy and paste links.
:patch:

Stand alert! Revised and updated list, Fall/Winter 2015 edition.

This is an updated resource list for the Warrior uniform, merchants are graded on overall quality and reliability, organized by letter grade as follows;


A = Screen accurate, the best available. Merchant is extremely reliable.
B = Well made, with some inaccuracies. Merchant is reliable, some issues have been reported.
C* = Recognizable, but highly inaccurate (Budget Costume) Merchant is somewhat reliable.
* May be subject to limited membership within the club.
D = Extremely cheaply made, not recommended. Unacceptable within Squadron Guidelines.
F = Are you kidding? A real Warrior wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of these.

Any uniform rated below C will not be accepted for membership.

The magnoliclothiers.com one looks like it's on sale right now for $650. Looks really nice, too. Wish I had the spare cash lying around. :(

So sorry to bother anyone, if this information has been newly posted. I am a new member to By Your Command, and I am seeking information where I can purchase a tan shirt from BSG TOS. If I cannot purchase a tan shirt, could I borrow or purchase the pattern from someone. Thank you to all of you for your kindness to me.
