Army.mil<\/a> says that Gentleman’s Quarterly is impressed with your sense of style, or rather the sense of style at Natick Labs that outfits you. So, then, why is the Army trying to stealing Marpats?<\/p>\n

In an article entitled “Natick, Massachusetts: America’s Fashion Capital<\/a>,” the venerable men’s fashion and style magazine states its case for the home of everything U.S. service members wear.<\/p>\n

“If America has made any lasting contribution to men’s style, its (sic) utility: functional clothing,” GQ wrote in a story posted to its website, Sept. 18. “And no one issues a louder clarion call for ‘function’ than the five-pointed Department of Defense.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From GQ:<\/p>\n

From that brassy, hierarchical order of military men and women, we’ve inherited the combat boot, the fatigue shirt, the camouflage print and the campaign desk–all items worthy of veneration. We also got the T-shirt, popularized after the Spanish American War (1898).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Army.mil article says;<\/p>\n

Annette LaFleur, team leader of the Design, Pattern & Prototype Team at Natick, Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, said that military clothing should be functional first but also have that ‘cool factor.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, “cool factor” that’s what keeps us in uniform.<\/p>\n

I’ll admit, I wore Multicam shorts everyday this summer, but just because the Army said the rest of y’all couldn’t wear Multicam in CONUS (I have a problem with authority, if you haven’t noticed). I wear some Converse desert combat boots because, for some reason, they’re the only shoes that I can wear without a brace to compensate for my “drop foot” which makes me trip over my toes. I haven’t, however, felt the need to get a Multicam blouse, parka or field jacket. I guess my “cool” threshold is lower than most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
