Fatigue size alter?

I just received a jacket and trousers in desert MARPAT.

The problem is, they're in size Large-Regular. The sleeves on the jacket are a little too long and too wide/puffy, but the torso part of the jacket fits me alright. The pant-legs are the same way. Any way I could make the legs/sleeves smaller without sacrificing too much?

I may be able to help you out here. When you wear the sleeves, do you button the cuffs as tight as they will go? They should be just tight enough to where you can barely wear a thin watch under it. For the trousers, blousing them helps a lot. Refer to this thread if you need any help. If what you are looking for isn't covered there, shoot me a PM.

Also, if you roll your sleeves, that will help a lot.

Alternatively, you could try to fill out your uniform a bit better. Build up your arms and legs. That means daily workouts and power shakes. Nothing like raw egg and ice cream to brighten your morning! This is how I'm working on my uniform's fit.

Dude the arms are like 8 inches thicker than mine... My sister's boyfriend used these in an OCS training weekend thing, and he's 6'7''.

Put some duct/electrical tape around them. I've seen it done by Marines in the field.

Alright, I'll try that. Any idea on the pants?

Blouse those f**kers

My boots are too low-cut, they stop at just above my ankle.

I will say again, blouse those f**kers. You can still blouse them. Take a rubber band and blouse them right where the boot ends.

Okay, I'll try in a little while. Thanks.

Don't mention it man. You could also try the tape thing, I guess. Can't say I've seen it done, though
