RE: short sleeve white tapered blouse

Glad to see you finally got a blouse. Just in case you or someone else in your unit needs one:best bet is to have them go to the nearest Air Force Base store that sells uniforms (its called AFFES) abbreviations for Air Force etc. If they can go with them as a guest they can try on the sizes in stock, if one is needed they do order them. If someone has one for you to try on that helps as well, then the Air Force person can order one on line in the event the store is out. It will come to their store/home which ever they choose. Do hope this helps out. A friend got mine from Buckley Air Force Base in Denver, CO area for me. Not military and cannot get on base let alone into one of the stores. Do hope this helps others in the time to come. Pat is no longer at the Auxiliary store and someone is to hired soon. Part time job so it might take a little bit of time till the next person is settled in to get your other items needed for the blouse. Always check with other units from your state or members in your unit. Go to the Dept. of (add your state name) then go down to the aux. names finding one near you. Contact them, most are helpful as we all want to be looking uniform, etc. Carole

The navy suits are in all of the big catalogs. The next time I go to the store I will find the current page and item number for you. Best of all they have it in petite, womens, etc. sizes. For everyone in a dark navy blue and simple. Cannot have all the busy things on a suit for our uniform. Sorry had not been to the web page in ages, should have returned message sooner.

Now that I have the short sleeve blouse (sample from Cintas) I find I need one more small gold button. I only see the big ones listed.

Each member is responsible to pay by her credit card, cashier check or arrangement made with Cintas.
Cintas does not sew on stripes, patches or buttons as this makes the pieces custom and non returnable. The jacket, skirt, pants, sweaters, and regular white blouse are stock items and can be returned without difficulty .
The "pointed Air Force blouse, and the evening wear is all custom and takes a minimum order of 12 for each piece before Cintas will do a cutting.

I am not a retired member of the service or whatever the other thing was you said. I am just trying to purchase the white, short sleeve over blouse (taspered V at the hip line) to go with the MCLA uniform. Cintas has not come back yet to give me a definite price. I have tried other military web sites too...no luck...yet.

Select "login and shop" from the top left frame. Select "First time user assistance" for instructions on creating an account. If your in the DEERS system as an retiree, you should be able to get in.
Short Sleeve Polyester / Wool Overblouse
Price...$30.95
This is where I ordered mine

Would you believe Cintas is still trying to figure out what they are doing? They kept asking me if I knew this was a custom order. I did...so I finally asked the price. If you order only one blouse like this from Cintas the cost is $104.36. So..I either need to find a bunch more MCLA ladies that would like to order the blouse (the larger the order, the lower the price) or find another source. Other than a military base, does anyone know another way to purchase the vested bottom, white, short sleeve blouse?

This is not easy. I have called Cintas and have talked to 3 operators. This blouse is a custom order. The last operator was going to call the MCLA office... I just hope Pat is there. They need some special account number.
OK...the account # for an MCLA order is 4098564 and then if you have ordered from them before you add on the numbers of your own account. The order # for the shirt is 937537 and the color code for white is 92. The girl in custom orders had 3 prices listed and had no idea why so she is going to get back to me in the morning.
