no, 8 years and I never saw one. We used to get the tailors to put the green jumper cuffs on our sas smocks though, lol

A mate of mine is a Falklands Vet and he told me that they were doing it back in his day. He was a CSGT in the Royal Marines. However when I served in the Army I didnt see anyone do it.

There's the ubacs shirt now which is designed specifically for armour, but not seen any armour specific mods to kit. Other mods off the top of my head are switching out assault vest pockets, the jumper cuff in smock bit and dying ubacs shirts in the green zone but there are probably tons.
