In 1940 BSA "FULL" uniform was about $25-27
With most family's making $200-300 a month

2007 BSA "Full" uniform $100
With most family's making $1,500-4,000 a month has gone up

so uniform 300% but then the family income has gone up 500% or more...... so its really not that bad...... and if anything I would like the BSA to ad a OD over coat to match the pants and to protect the shirt in weather......

so its cheaper in comaprison. that means nothing really. its still expensive...

overcoat idea=thumb down since its too hot in some (many?) places year round


tbh, the uniform should sstay the same with one minor differnce.
label should read: made in china, not made in usa.

i know child labor ect, but maybe get some place that can garuntee it uses no children.

HA! Fat chance! Keep it in the USA for $10 extra, we can all make the sacrifice.
