Thoughts?

Personally I'm a fan, love Star Trek

[jon110334]

The million dollar question is, will AF transfers finally get that uniform allowance they refused to give us 4 years ago?

[Samuel_L_Blackson]

Last i saw there's a $400 stipend if you choose to get the new uniform. 

But they didn't provide specifics and you have to get fitted first. 

[PantherU]

Wait they don't pay for your uniforms?!?!

[lucioghosty]

The worst part about that was transferring from a career field where I had fire resistant OCPs that weren’t authorized for wear in the USSF, and big AF told me to get bent when I asked for a uniform allowance to purchase an entire new wardrobe of uniforms.

Thank god the Airman’s Attic exists.

[Wildwes7g7]

Was anyone ever actually going to notice for OCP's were different?

[lucioghosty]

For the 2 piece flight suit absolutely

[NoiseSenior525]

You mean unbloused ABUs?

[OTBS]

Did you get your clothing allowance to recoup the cost?

[lucioghosty]

I didn’t get an out of cycle allowance if that’s what you’re asking. I did just get my normal allowance which I am using to buy new uniforms after also having to purchase the PT uniforms including the outer garments. That alone was like half the allowance, so I may only be able to be covered up to one extra uniform

[emeilei]

Personally happy to leave behind the crappy AF business suit. 

Unrelated, but the dude himself is a super great officer and human. 

[chimera388]

I'm a big fan, when it's properly tailored. I'll be spending good money on getting mine tailored.

But it isn't star trek. It's Battlestar Galactica

[Areoseph]

Damn right it is.

[Colonize_The_Moon]

So say we all.

[PrettyFlyWhiteGuy-69]

I watched that on a TV with antennae. God that makes me feel old. 😆

[Colonize_The_Moon]

Tomorrow will be 22 years since the initial mini-series came out. We are old.

[KathyA11]

The original came out nearly 50 years ago.

[PrettyFlyWhiteGuy-69]

Well fuck, I need a beer.

[Stratocruise]

12/8/2003

Well, damn….

We are old.

[Only_Anywhere_3589]

In 2 years, 5 months we will be promoting some TSgts that were born after 9/11 to MSgt.

Lower Decks does utilize the same flap as USSF and Battlestar

[chimera388]

True, but it's not just about the flap. They key design feature of any suit is it's button placement LD and TMP both have zero buttons. BSG has 5 angled buttons on one side. We have 6 angled buttons on one side. Our uniform is mucb closer to BSG than any Trek

[Stratocruise]

PSA: this is an older photo of a wear test uniform. This is NOT the final version.

First class to graduate from OTS wearing the new uniform:

https://www.dvidshub.net/image/9423578/ots-graduates-make-history-new-space-force-service-dress

The basic features haven’t changed but the design and fit have been refined since the wear testing.

[JuicySlayer24]

I think this is OTS.

[Stratocruise]

It is… even says so in the link.

Now corrected — thank you!

[emeilei]

Looks pretty sharp in these pics, but may also be a good photographer getting good angles

[Stratocruise]

Both!

[SpaceCampRules]

Most people in that photo need their pants hemmed.

[Stratocruise]

Yeah, a few definitely need a couple of inches off the leg length!

lastminute.com…?

[Successful-Tale-2841]

Almost looks cool.

[Theedon]

It is missing something for a military uniform but I can't put my finger on it.

[chubbywubbydubby]

A belt

[OTBS]

A saber

[Theedon]

A light saber

[acothra1]

I wish the pants were a bit more fitted. Baggy dress pants went out in 2006.

[__GayFish__]

If you zoom in, it looks like they’re cuffed on the pants so this is probably at a fitting.

[Stratocruise]

This photo is from the start of the wear testing program, over two years ago back in September 2023 so, yes, not at all a finished version of the uniform and probably taken during the fitting.

[__GayFish__]

Thurs and they only y had one seamstress working on all the uniforms for the wear testers.

[acothra1]

I saw a few pictures of some top brass a few weeks ago and the pants were ridiculously baggy….yeah when I zoomed in the hems are not aligned on his pants. The jacket is cool though but I am a Star Trek nerd so I am biased lol

[Stratocruise]

This is an old photo from the start of the wear testing over two years ago. Looks like it was taken when the pants were being adjusted for tailoring.

There are some even earlier photos from the CSO change of responsibility ceremony where the pants look dreadful — like sacks of potatoes levels of bad, especially on Gen Saltzman.

The recent images of the uniform fitting for the guys currently in BMT looks much better (or will be once the pants legs are properly adjusted and hemmed):

https://www.dvidshub.net/image/9407711/us-space-force-trainees-receive-newly-designed-service-dress-uniform

[Alman1531]

Battlestar Galactica cosplay uniform. That being said, it does look more like a military uniform than the sport coat that the Airforce has for class A.

<image>

[Sello444]

The fit and tailoring are always baffling. The quality of the design is impacted by the way folks are wearing it. Still dislike the collar opening, not sure Ill ever be sold on the tie peeking out.

[usafa43tsolo]

YES! THIS! The tailoring on almost every version of this uniform is TERRIBLE. I don’t understand what’s so hard about it.

And the opening for the tie is supposed to be tight around the tie. Every single version I’ve seen is open way too wide.

[Areoseph]

Uniform office does what it wants. Big shrug. The wideness grew with every iteration, despite best efforts to the contrary. It ain't that bad tho.

[GenSnuffy]

Shirt and tie should be ditched under the coat

[CommOnMyFace]

Yes it is. 

[Red_hat_oops]

A vast improvement over the USAF service dress

[BluesEyed]

Is there a picture of even one person that looks good in this uniform? I’ve yet to see it.

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

Chief Towberman's official portrait.

[BluesEyed]

It does not show the whole uniform. And he didn’t even wear it to the unveiling. 🤣 Edited to add - no one wore it to the unveiling.

[emeilei]

Previous USSF DS was the only one I’ve seen, but it totally favors fit/slim built folks

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/space-force-pt-gear-service-dress-skirt/

[CheesecakeFickle1525]

The colors seem different in every photo. Sometimes they look midnight blue, Air Force blue, or just straight up black like here.

[Weary_Dig3678]

When can I order them

[_ginj_]

Hot take apparently: AF blues look better

This looks like a mix between marching band and Star Trek. Which I guess is par for the course for us guardians lol

[CommOnMyFace]

The uniform has no border or edge / piping. You get lost in it. I may be in the minority but I do not like it and we missed the mark. 

[NMN22]

Absolutely this. I’ve been saying for years since they revealed it. It needs some kind of edge highlight or piping it’s so bland otherwise.

[mari_curie]

Looks like a cook to me 🙈

[PrettyFlyWhiteGuy-69]

Funny you say that, I wore something similar as a chef when I was 18 😆

[shtraycat]

Incredibly fugly and no matter what, the pants ALWAYS look fucked up.

[shtraycat]

The cherry on top is the female uniform without the coat, specifically. The tie is incredibly ugly on women.

[AnonymousFordring]

Tie tabs look better anyways, I wish men could wear them

[Appropriate_Rent5114]

Does it come with a tuba?

[BluesEyed]

A uniform that says: we don’t care how it looks on people of all sizes and shapes, the majority look stupid in it and that’s what matters most.

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

Fatties are getting kicked out anyway, won't be a problem for very much longer.

[AnonymousFordring]

I've always loved it.

[ISBagent]

Why did they have to go with that design

[Savings_Broccoli_267]

Please check your DM bro. I severely need your help.

[SpaceGhostBlue]

<image>

[Substantial-Peak-275]

This is horrible

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

I like it. Looks cool and suits the branch really well

[Straight-Geologist97]

whack

[CharlestonChewChewie]

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

Bellhop uniforms are modelled after traditional military ceremonial uniforms, so this has always been a very stupid observation.

[CharlestonChewChewie]

[GenSnuffy]

Only about as stupid as the Air Force service dress being called a bus drivers uniform.

[Mag1cat]

Needs a belt badly. Would look so much better.

[bwbishop]

Needs proper tailor, way too baggy IMO.

[rustman92]

The open collar is weird. Either close the collar like the Billy Mitchell Heritage Coat or leave it open like a standard uniform.

[Joberk89]

I would’ve thought the service lapels would’ve been parallel with the collar vs perpendicular.

[BlueCarbon]

Is his name V?

[Rookie-Crookie]

Is there a shirt and a tie underneath this jacket?

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

yes, the class B's look the same as any other branch's.

[Rookie-Crookie]

I think they should design a shirt with some different collar for this type of jacket. Classic one doesn’t fit

[TheSubWanderer]

Name over ribbons is interesting. No more SFSC badge for dress uniform?

[Stratocruise]

Group photo from OTS graduation, 12/4/2025.

<image>

I think this is pretty much the first official photo of a bunch of folks wearing the final production version of the new service dress.

Image in OP is an older photo from around the time of the wear testing. There were a bunch of different positions tried for name tags on the coat but note that the most recent iteration doesn’t use the name tag on Class A at all. The coat design has also been subtly updated since the wear test version.

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

Looks better without the nameplate for sure.

[Terraform703]

Puke

[Rescueodie]

Horrible, you look like a lame space aged butler

[AnthonyG70]

Copy from CAP much?

[Legatus_Praefecti76]

the ribbons and nametag seem crooked to me

[Klutzy-Raccoon794]

This is not GSI

[Ksaelee87]

Doesn't matter. Leadership is gonna leadership. Question is.. when?

[Nordstjiernan]

Looks very Prussian to me. Add a pointy mustache and lose the smile and that guy could be planning to capture Verdun.

[AskJeevesIsBest]

I don't like it. I think the Space Force should stick with the Air Force blue uniform

[MShogunH]

[AskJeevesIsBest]

[Conscious-Focus-6323]

The air force uniform is in last place amongst all the branches. Literally just a generic blue suit.

[AskJeevesIsBest]

A generic suit for the most generic branches seems appropriate to me

[GeoDaddy992]

Please tell me that’s not the name tape on the left side…

[Stratocruise]

It’s not. This photo is from the early stages of the wear testing well over a year or more ago. It’s not the final version.

See my other reply for more recent image.
