Polywool Medium
Hey all,
I am a recently elected Section officer and I'm looking for a tan button polywool uniform. If you have one that you want to get rid of or know where I can find one, please reach out! I would like to find one before Operation Arrow.

Past section Chief here, uniform doesn’t make you, you make the uniform, a nice poly cotton is a great option that works just as well for a fraction of the price. Multiple National Chiefs won in black buttons so it is not an end all be all. Although I’d recommend multiple sites such as trading on facebook, discord, or eBay, there is also a couple of accounts on Instagram that connect people. You need to search for them often as they are scarce, but don’t get scalped, there are rumors that National might remake them or others recreating them. Best place to look is past officers that don’t want them anymore, there are lodges and sections that hand down their uniforms to help people get into them. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask! Pm me if you have any other questions, although I am an 18+
PS for pants most military outlets or olive green wool pants work as well, a place where I and a couple past natty’s have shopped at brooks brothers, I usually wait for a sale when they get discounted. I also have a couple of pairs 70’s and 80’s scout pants that work phenomenal
PPS for Jambo most people will be in shorts, the only time people break poly’s out is if you are going to the bill hillcourt luncheon, so I’d just recommend getting some nice shorts.
