Hiya! I plan on eventually submitting for Vanguard status, so I truly appreciate the shirt advisory and observations. I reviewed some of the pics DSC provided and it appears your assessment still stands. Will do some research and see who makes a more accurate shirt, might still go with DSC for the pants though... As far as the black helm ridge, I'm on stand by until I get the lens from Mr. Paul, which I believe integrates the black ridge. If so, I will sand mine out! Thank you very much!!
