The Roughriders do encourage their pilots, scientists, medics, and technicians to maintain a dress uniform as it makes for good recognition at social functions (after all, not everybody knows everybody). However, while sufficiently dressy, the Roughrider Dress Uniform is also comfortable - easy to wear and easy to don. And it's machine washable.
Just what makes the Roughriders uniform so favored? Two words: Dennim Pants.
Well... it's not really dennim. It's a specially wave-enhanced material that appears like the Certified Naval Twill material used in the USN's Dress Uniforms, but it has Dennim's comfortable texture.
Color depends on what department you're in. Black for combat personel, Blue for the Roughnecks (construction battalion), Haze Gray for the HARDES (science and exploration), and white for the Angels of Mercy (Medical/Relief Corps). The fit is generally your standard boot-cut, but women also have the option of fitted pants (because Ben loves it when the women in his organization cause minor chaos with prolonged double-takes) and denim skirts.
The Doc Martin boots help, too.
