Army folks (especially those not on Army/joint posts where the MCSS obviously has our uniforms) where have you found the new Pinks and Greens? I heard wait until I go back to a school yo buy them and not waste the additional money on Marlow White, but other than those two options, what have you all found that works? Full disclosure, I am on an Air Force post many hours away from a proper Army MCSS and I have been told that big Army will no longer allow non-Army or joint posts to carry the "dress" uniforms. We have all the accessories and OCP, but not a single piece of AGSU or ASU. I presume this is either due to the shift in uniform and the supplies, but the workers made it sound like a permanent decree. Your experiences?

Just go to the AF Clothing and Sales and ask if you can order the AGSU thru them. I mean, they are AAFES. Unless it was Clothing and Sales that told you.

Unfortunately, it was the MCSS who informed me of this new was "the Army" is doing things. We used to have both duty and service uniforms, but now apparently "the Army" pulled those back to just Army posts. They said full joint posts might have them, but definitely not an Air Force post. I'm not whining about it mind you. Although it is inconvenient, I just figure best to knock it out before I PCS just hopefully with the "here's what worked for us" guidance of the community. Don't reinvent the wheel; am I right?

So turns out that AAFES cannot order the new AGSU if they are not able to carry it, and being on an AFB, they cannot locally carry it. Well, back to either ordering from Marlow White or driving to the nearest Army post. Can't say I'm happy about it, but good to know the ridiculousness up front.

You just go onto shopmyexchange and order it off the AAFES clothing and sales. Have fun getting an Army uniform tailored on an AF base though. You'll want to read the wear and fit guidelines ahead of time to tell the seamstresses exactly where the hems should reach on you, exactly how far down the shoulder your rank and patches should be, and how high above the cuff your bars should be.
I was at an AF base when the ASUs came out. I had to drive hours to an Army base to buy the uniform and then get them sewn at a local sew shop

SFC (Join to see) I lament I never made the trip down to their facility while I was stationed in MD. I suppose I will go get a tailor to measure me and then place the order. No time like the present, or rather none like a few days from now when my clothing allowance hits and begins to burn a hole in my pocket.

SFC (Join to see) you can make the measurements yourself with a $1 seamstresses tape measure. Obviously, a tailor will do it better, but you can look up the measurement benchmarks and have someone measure for you.
It's basically pant inseam, waist, chest, and arm length

I will have to do that, it seems. The local MCSS is not allowed to even order them, so I suppose it is time to step up to Marlow Whites.

You get what you pay for in life and Marlow White is worth it. Last I checked they had three levels of uniforms based on quality and if you plan on staying or beyond 20, spend the $$$.

Bought my ASU from MW. So much better quality than the set you get from clothing and sales and you can tell when standing next to someone wearing one.
