ISA Standard Uniforms (& notes)

A little clothing ref I made for myself I found tucked away in last year's files. 

ISA (International Space Administration) service dress includes a double-breasted jacket with buttons hidden on the inner layer, that tucks under the belt; sturdy cotton slacks; and standard issue rubber-soled boots with velcro fastening. (I made the boots too complicated to draw efficiently so I normally just colour them as flat black...) Under their service dress members wear a light blue dress shirt (long sleeved w/ a button to secure sleeves when rolled-up) and a short tie that's pinned at the bottom to stop it floating around. There are four pockets in the slacks and two breast pockets inside the jacket, all with zippers or velcro.

Fatigues are a comfortable, sturdy jumpsuit with a number of pockets that I designed based around battle dress and a typical labour workers' outfit. Under fatigues crewmembers can wear a light tshirt, tank, an insulated top, or in the case of pilots, skins that are also worn under a spacesuit. 

There are variations on the service dress according to duty or in the case of formal events. There's also a beret that officer cadets (blue) and ISA police (red) wear, but its optional when in space (for obvious reasons)

The aim was something appropriate for a formal military uniform but also something comfortable, protective, ergonomic, and easy to move in under zero G.

All ISA posts and space stations (such as the ISS Gaia, in Earth's orbit) have strict uniform policy. However members on the ISS Astrolabe tend to bend the rules a little in favour of personal expression. Sonny normally gets away with wearing fatigues or abandoning it altogether by wearing his civvies outside of pilot duty (much to his CO Dawn's irritation).
