The CEL incident is an exception but the fact remains that there are CADPAT uniforms out there that were obtained by other means. Are you telling me all the CADPAT out there came from CEL? I highly doubt that. In a nutshell, people shouldn't be bitching about questionably obtained JTF-2 kit when there are players out there with questionably obtained CADPAT. Refer to Armed Pacifist's comment regarding hypocrisy.

There are a couple surplus stores in Toronto that sell issue CADPAT. It's out there on a large scale basis.

What I was refering to in my post is comparing aftermarket clothing made in CADPAT to issued CADPAT. If you can tell the difference from pictures you have much better eyesight that me.

As for the initial post, how do we know it's not seconds?

Maybe built for trial only, now being sold off. Maybe to many were built? Who knows.


As for wearing issued gear when not working, everybody does it at some point, but like Morbius said, showing up anywhere with ranks, headdress, cap badges etc., well, that's a bit different.
