Military 'woolly pully' sweaters
Army. To be honest I'm not sure these jumpers are even scaled any more for general issue, I believe they have been replaced by the horrid fleece (not as outerwear). I have a very different regimental jumper as well that is in no way uniform...- Carnage

How many Brits are here?
I do rather like rude Londoners, I enjoy seeing the shock on the faces of tourists. That and how they treat people who stop at the bottom of escalators on the Tube.- Carnage

In my experience they will accept "Yanks" a lot easier than the military form of address of "Septics".... I believe that one has to remain an informal nickname for now..- Carnage

Detectives
If you can wear your firearm, in your chosen holster, when you are fitted for your suit that would be best. Also it is possible to have patches of material sewn into the liner of your jacket to prevent the butt of your pistol rubbing a hole through, it also makes the area around the weapon... -
