cloth on general uniforms

[charlet]

Hi gentlemen, I'd like to have a little precision about cloth quality of the generals uniforms. Yesterday I saw a complete piece (visor, pants and jacket) of 1980 (buttons and visor) for general maior of infantery, nice, very classic.
I noticed the cloth quality is very next to officers'one. I was told the quality decreased progressively with time. And curiously I saw more old mundir than 80's exemplars! (a friend m45 mundir, incredible quality, thick cloth, embroidery...and my 3 late 50' mundirs...very nice cloth, soon a bit less beautifull than 1945's one).

Can you confirm me this evolution?
thanks by advance, sebastien
