How about the big brouhaha over the Brit "woolly-pully"? The USMC officers in my FAOBC class had them issued but there was hell to pay if you were Army and wore it under your fatigues.
Brilliant, as the Guiness brothers say....

I never envied the Marines their sweaters. But I went to AROBC in the summer.
I was issued a 5-button sweater when I got to Germany, and that was a pretty good item. Beat scarves and gloves and field jackets most of the time.
