They've broght the cost down, according to the latest Army Times. 75$ a set. Still quite a bit higher than $58 for the BDUs.
And they've decided the name tapes and rank insignia will be on the same cammo pattern material as the rest of the uniform instead of the olive green duck they used to use. Looks much better.
The belt will be tan instaed of black. Apparently someone complained bout the belt not matching the shoes. :groannedt
