Cloth Talk #19: Uniformity
Posted in Scouting Blogs and Websites by John E. Pannell on December 18th, 2006 at 6:17 am 
Just in time for Christmas and thanks to the guys at ScoutHistory.net Cloth Talk #19 is now available for downloading either through iTunes or by direct download at http://www.scouthistory.net/blog/. Remember, you do not need to have iTunes installed in order to listen to Cloth Talk.
In a basic sense of the words, this episode of Cloth Talk really does talk… about cloth:
This show Mitch Reis (mitchreis.com) is our guest and reveals all about the BSA uniform from the earliest right up to the modern cargo pants! Do you know who designed todays uniform? Mitch does and tell us all about it! Fake uniforms? What? Join us for a great chat with Mitch.
I haven’t listened to this episode yet, but surely Mitch will tell us why the current uniforms, designed by Oscar de la Renta, just don’t fit the average Scouter very well. Could it be that Scouters just don’t look like his runway models? 
The best description I’ve ever heard: “Oscar de la Renta had clearly never seen a Scoutmaster from behind.”
