“TSA will provide your initial uniform issue consisting of:
3 long sleeve shirts
3 short sleeve shirts
2 pairs of trousers
2 ties, and one belt
sweater
socks,
and jacket.”

Let’s say $75/shirt=$300 + $100/sweater=$100 + $100/trousers=$200 + $20/tie=$40 + $20/belt=$20 + $40/socks=$40 + $300/jacket=$300

Do these prices seem accurate for Mexican made clothing bought in bulk (50,000 orders)?

I’m sure if you investigated closely enough, you’d find some Obama-contributing middleman skimming off a significant slice of the $$$.

Re #14: and the TSA uniform:

You left out the Obama and Sickle arm patch and pin.

Remember, you can bend a Swastika into the Hammer and Sickle without breaking off any parts.

It would be $75 a shirt from Brooks Brothers.

We're paying on the order of $70/shirt for NFPA 2112 flame resistant shirts in the oil patch (now required clothing--at least the outer layer must meet that specification). Pants run about the same, but these are FR denim and heavy twill shirts, not a lighter uniform grade indoor material (USA Made).

We're paying retail, but we don't have the fancy patches and name tags and such, either.
