And at that time the camo uniform was of low quality they faded
after washing.
Those faded uniforms were prized among servicemen. ~lol~ More so
the next-generation camo pattern, which had a brighter shade than
the version which the SAF settled on later. Everybody tried their
best to hang onto both sets, for their "veteran" look. Eventually
the faded ones was kit-exchanged out at the Enciks' insistence --
the colour became more gray than green, as the picture shows --
& they even caused MPs to take any still-stubborn wearers'
names down at the end (outside Amoy Quee), as I recall.
But the other design remained popular throughout the reservist
days.
