I remember I knew a fellow scout back in the late 80's who did this. Hi mother was quite proud of the savings. We were in different troops but attended the same high school, were on summer camp staff together, and he was on my LEC when I was Lodge Chief. The shirt was tan, but the color was a bit too white-ish. And the pockets were almost square - they just had the bottom corners cut at 45-degree angles, which made his lodge flap look funny on the pocket. Honestly, I don't recall any Scouter ever giving him any grief over it. Us scouts, however, razzed him incessantly...
