I for one love the new uniform. It is much more comfortable, fashionable and functional that the previous uniform.......and I like the bellowed pockets as you can actually put something in them.

I agree with Beaver on this one, the Centenial beats the ODLR hands down, if only it was made Stateside, I have a Suplex short sleeve and a poplin long sleeve. If the pockets bother you stitch them down flat, they still can hold a card or folded up paper but won't pooch out in ways that make full figured Scouters wince at their reflections in the mirror. I've read the Uniform guide, nothing says you can't do this, and it's reversable, I would not remove the bellows and reattach at this time though if a revised shirt comes out with the same pocket outline but flat you might copy that, your shirt, your choice.

Well I don't knwo about the bellows pocket going away, but it does look as if the smokes pocket is. I just noticed ont eh inside cover of the new BSHB that I got today that the inside back cover has the diagram showing the pre-Centennial Uniform diagram for the CSP, vet bar, unit number, POR emb, and trained strip.
