While you're waiting for the next review, why not read Chris Sims's analysis of Dredd's uniform? He looks at the design elements and suggests exactly what makes it work. It's not a bad little disquisition, but I'd add one note to his summary: the boots. The huge boots that Mike McMahon added and Brian Bolland (and later pretty much everyone else) adopted help make Dredd look particularly imposing.
And since 1985 (or 2107 if you prefer) he's deliberately worn a size too small. That's Dredd for you: too big for his boots.
