I had several sets of the prototype 100% cotton SpecAm uniform, and I wore one of them a couple of times last summer.
I found it to the most comfortable uniform I've ever worn - the material was very soft and supple, yet still seemed good and strong. Also, it didn't fade at all after 2 washes through a washing machine on normal dark coloured cotton settings followed by tumble drying.
The production version ECU seems to be a good improvement on the prototype design. But there have have been big problems with the assembly of the uniforms over in China - and hence the long delays (its now supposed to be Feb./March 07 delivery timeframe).
IF there's any good news out of this it seems to be that a few countries are also interested in the uniforms now, and at least one has placed a large order for their national police force. So maybe that will help to unblock the production bottle-neck.
