    Something seems lacking somehow. I couldn't say what it is exactly, but the overall look seems to be missing the flair of the old regiments. Maybe they've tried to "modernise" the dress or something. *shrug* Have to agree with the "ho hum".

    There isn't anything new brought to the party here its all stuff that was previously worn by the old regiments and selected as i like to say randomly out a kids action man toy box

    There are other shots on the Army site, perhaps some of the other Dress has the flair you are looking for??

    Perhaps the standardisation has done this too. The variation in kit was always something to be proud of as it normally had a reason to be worn.

    also remember this is now the rig for all the Scottish battalions not just the "Highland" ones.
