They were CBP agents, with guns, badges, the whole nine-yards - and their uniforms were black. Had I stared longer at them (and their uniforms), they probably would have thought I was a perv (no comments necessary from the regulars, please).
Definitely not blue, dark blue, dark, dark blue - black.
I am telling you the uniforms are dark blue. The only black on them is the strip down the leg of the class two uniform. I can assure you I am reasonably sure I am correct. As it really should not have been that hard to figure out by now that I wear the uniform every day and have about fifteen of them in my closet.
Dark Navy, 75% polyester/25% worsted wool, 9.5 oz.
New branding (patch) on left sleeve. CBP keystone right sleeve.
Unstitched epaulets for rank shoulder boards
Scalloped pockets with Velcro® closures
Lintrak® creases
Badge tab
Long sleeve styles have two button cuffs
Tie mandatory with long sleeve shirt
Right out of the catalog
This why sometimes you have to take your fellow travelers observations and recollections with an open mind sometimes they are wrong.
