The new CP uniform was never launched because it was still being wear tested. A select group of employees were picked to wear the new threads for 3 months for testing purposes. It turned out that the material originally chosen showed too many signs of wear and tear for a uniform that was expected to hold up for two years before requiring replacement pieces. Back to the drawing board to design a tigher and stronger weave. This second submission of material was in it's three month testing period when all hell broke loose.

Doug; thanks for the manual reference. I hadn't come across it yet.
