Thanks very much, another year older, another year to get poorer collecting :lol:

 

It could be his KIA uniform. I was looking at some stills from Ep7 and I did notice some similarities with his clothing later in that episode.

 

The two tears, one in the elbow and one on the shoulder are visible here and here:

Here is a picture of Captain Haldane wearing the trousers,

you can see the mark just below the knee and the tear near the knee if you look really closely

I noticed throughout the show and in that final scene the shirts are often quite wet or stained.

It could be the same one as in the KIA scene, if they wet it for that shot, to simulate sweat. I am not sure if sweat stains were simulated on the jackets in a more permanent manner or if they just wet them for the shot.

Its a cool thing nonetheless.
