Agreed Bruce. Lets go back to the badge in question, but I am not sure there is much more to add to the discussion at this time. If new information about the badge becomes available an update would be welcome.

Looks a bit tight across the middle.

Most Regiments & Corps have a Regimental/Corps Dress Committee who publish Regimental Dress Regulations, which in turn should be approved by the Army Dress Committee. A Commanding Officer would still need to follow this route. The Adjutant and RSM and in the Corps the 'Corps RSM' are members of the Dress Committee and enforces these Dress Regulations There are many 'local variations' to Dress Regulations in relation to things such as Regimental Police Brassards and Pace Sticks etc. |

Example to my last post - Variation to Royal Artillery Dress Regulation by Regiments or Batteries of the RA;

Ohhh Dave, you are treading on thin ice.... CALGARY HIGHLANDERS. (The Canadian army has one of the most arcane system of abbreviations. You need a guide to understand what many of them mean.)

I certainly wouldn't categorize it as "Hi-Vis" rank.

No, not hi-vis, but this is still being worn, while the rest of the regt has gone hi-vis. As for being tight across the middle he would probably be highly offended, not only a Snr NCO in the Infantry, but one of Calgary's finest. He was nice enough to hold the shirt tight so I could get a clean shot.

Hello Bruce, Do you know who made these?

Hi
Interesting stuff. In reference to the Hi-vis slip-on example shown, if it's DND issue, I'll bet there is a CANADA "identifier" embroidered right into the cloth under the add-on specific identifier. I've been dealing with these for issue in a small way but have seen all ranks and a ton of the various identifiers in bins at Base Supply. There appears to be two efforts; each rank and each identifier. Each rank has the CANADA embroidered as a "base model" and then the identifier added. Unit returns for issue have to have the identifier required for each soldier. Though as a business model for CP Gear, that would work too. Would it be possible that the contract built all ranks including band ranks and somewhere someone added the correct CAMERON? No idea on the Velcro. Nothing but CANADA that I've seen for those few who have the shirt here at my lower part of the pole. regards Darrell
