Edward Elric has only been known to wear the official state alchemist uniform once during his time as a state alchemist. One day, about a year after the promised day, Mustang and his friends are eating lunch in the mess hall. Suddenly the hall goes completely silent. Mustang looks up from his lunch and sees Edward striding purposefully toward him, fully decked out in the navy blue coat and boots. He looks at Riza- surely she must have some hand in this unprecedented turn of events- but Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye is as surprised as he is.

Every eye is on Edward as he reaches the General’s table. 

“You know the difference between you and me?” Edward says, clear enough for the entire hall to hear.

He takes a pair of shades out of his pocket and slides them on.

“I make this look good”.

Edward turns on his heel and strides out of the mess hall. An hour later Hawkeye finds him in a cafe with Winry, wearing normal clothes. 

That is the one and only time that Edward Elric has been known to wear a state alchemist uniform. Nobody even knows where he got it from.
