I am a female adult leader for at least four sea scout ships in the Cascade Pacific Council to help provide leadership for female youth, and I've recently joined a couple of Family troops as well for the same reasons (and I'm a glutton for punishment in the scouting program as a former sea scout :P).

I ONLY have sea scout adult uniform wear (unofficial - 5.11) as I will not wear Dickies or whatever else they suggest that won't put up with the amount of activity and roughness I put them through.

I have some LAPG women's pants coming in that closely matches the Troop pants colors because the kind in the scout shop I would rip in a week and they're 2 sizes too small despite being labeled my size. I'll need them by July 19th for a scout camp week at Fire Mountain Scout Camp.

Does anyone have any suggestions on other brands that would work well? I particularly prefer the BDU/cargo pants style for the sake of being able to use the pockets when out and about.

Is color matching as close to exact as possible a thing? I suspect I won't get hate for being one or two shades off slightly.

Thanks! Happy to answer any questions in sea scouts if people are interested. We are trying to bring the program back (in the PNW by Portland especially).

EDIT: see comments for photos. oh lawd. My brain. When all else fails when you get an Amazon glass kit? (I know I know. Amazon, but it's Casvort). Use your CHEAP ASS acrylic Amazon stretching kit o-rings. SO STICKY SECURE but not impossible to get off. The rings are down a size from the actual gauge I have now (2G/4G). I used two rings for both gages for extra security. And I can still take them all off when I need to. KEEN!! I'm finally in glass!!

Original: What are your recommendations for a glass dead stretch kit with TIGHT o rings? One order I have has my 2G and 4g so loose that any movement makes em slip right off. Not that they're so loose they fall when I hold them upright. But the move really easily.

Normal? I'm moving from titanium screw backs to glass to get the dead stretch in the next few months.

Thanks!
