It was also known as "Merrill Apparel."

When a real man and General, Ron Fogleman, took the reins, he quickly deep sixed the doorman's uniform.

I heard a story once that McPeak ordered all General's at a CORONA confernece to show up in the new uniform. General Fogleman (then head of TRANSCOM) showed up in his military fatigues.

Just lovely. I can see it with a commodore’s hat with ostrich plumes.

Fashionista, yes.

My groom was in the USAF. What he thinks is not printable.

Gen Fogleman was known to wear BDUs with a gun belt and big TRANSCOM buckle. Great man.

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news –
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

... Space Commodore McPeak” for is his trip into fashion design. He decided that the Air Force “blue suit” should look more like the Navy uniform with a lot of silver braid and shoulder boards.
