The Trading Post pt. 2

     The trading post has brought in utility clothes for people. A lot of pockets and Velcro. A minimum amount of cloth was used. It looks like prison garb!, except for the color. Two choices of color were given; navy blue, or brown. 

Utility jumper, shirts, pants, and kilts. The kilts go below the knees at calf length. 

     Not one chic or leisure outfit.  Surprisingly many men have taken a utility kilt for health reasons. Many women appreciate the kilt, as well. Considering how long it is on the men, it's even longer on us women. We are only allowed one piece of clothing per month! The extra length of the kilt is often trimmed off to use for something else, such as a hankie, or scarf.  We women  agree that the kilt gives us a touch of femininity. 

    Figure out what you want.

    Since you can only get one piece of clothing, per person, per month, then you need to prioritize what's important. What can you mend best? What can't be mended anymore? Or should you just get the jumper now? While the top, the kilt and the pants all count as one clothing item, the jumper counts for two items. If you get a jumper you can't get another clothing item for two months! 

P. S. 

I want to know whose idea it was to use wool! for the utility clothes. Itchy and hot! Damnit!!!
