If you have an outfit that is not recorded here or does not match my information, (e.g. you have a 13A P that is pink, not vivid blue) I would appreciate hearing from you. Information is best sent in the form of pictures. For details on the pictures required, jump to Taking Clothing Tag Pics.

Variations

> As the chart clearly shows, all the P factory outfits are made of corduroy. The rest are all cotton.

> There are some colour differences between the CC (Taiwan) elephant patches and the others. Refer to the picture. For more information on the patches, visit PTP: Plentiful Patches Pt. 1
