Ruard, Howdy;

The United States Military Academy, otherwise known as West Point (located in West Point, N.Y.),
The uniforms are a medium dark gray with a Black vertical stripe along the outside of the trouser leg. The hats are the dark gray except for the fancy dress hat Black (maybe dark gray,…not sure), with some black feathers stuck in the front.

Long standing Nickname for the cadets is “The Long Gray Line”

Hope this helps.

Hank, thanks for answering Ruard.

Everyone,
Thanks for the positive feedback. Sometimes, you look at materials and some just seem to fit well together. That was the case with this fly and the Petite Claret.

Thats a nice pattern Mark, very like the dry grey duster. It would also do well in stewarts style also.
