So the uniform just came in but there were a number of problems with the order. I ordered a tanker's colonel's parade uniform with straight leg pants.
The coat showed up with what I believe is an enlisted tanker's patch (see pictures), but if it belongs on an officer's uniform let me know. He also guaranteed that a Guard's Badge would be included (not there). I sent specific measurements for for the coat and pants. While I did not expect the exact measurements, despite his guarantees, I thought the sizes would be close. The jacket it massive, but at least it can be brought in by a tailor.
Finally, the rank on the jacket is not Col, but Lt Col rank and the stars are not gold (like they are supposed to be) but rather silver.
The pants were the worst part though. They are not the straight leg type to be worn with normal leather shoes. They are the type that are worn with the tall riding boots. The pants also barely fit me, and can't be fixed.:rant:
Please let me know what I should do! I can deal with the jacket since I can make alterations to make it work, but the pants really irritate me as I made sure to confirm with him more than once that he was clear on the exact specifications of my order. Stuff was not only missing, but also just down right wrong.
