If they have to wear a uniform then the government should pay otherwise buy your own fucking clothes. Not everything is a "business" expense.

"Uniform" can be a bit fungible, though. For instance, the GG may have to attend ultraformal events as part of their job. Is a tux or formal evening gown a "uniform" if it's required by dress code for their job, and they have no use for it outside their job, are unlikely to need it at a future job, and wouldn't otherwise buy it?

We make all the military people buy mess kit with no reimbursement or tax refund. So if the GG should get ultraformal wear covered, so should other federal uniform services.

I'd have no problem with that, within reason. I doubt many other people would either.
