This is a Department of Defense clothing and textiles specification for the ARTC Lightweight Base Layer Drawers (L2), product code AR-ETP-25-099, intended for Army use in cold weather combat environments. The specification covers unisex base layer drawers available in sizes XXS through 4XL, constructed from flame-resistant lightweight jersey knit fabric (AR-MTP-25-215, colorway 476/498 Coyote) with an elastic waistband, tapered two-ply functional fly, and flat seam construction. The garment features a 1-inch elastic waistband, 3/4-inch foldover hem at the bottom, and specific seaming details including overedge and single needle topstitching at the waist, double needle coverstitch at leg openings and fly bindings, and flatlock seams throughout. Additional components include 1-inch width elastic (AR-CTP-24-153), meta-aramid spun staple thread (AR-CTP-24-134) for all loopers, and Nomex thread (A-A-50195 TEX 40) for single needle stitching.
Quality requirements specify conformance to finished dimensions outlined in the Table of Finished Dimensions (TOFM) with grade rules provided for seven sizes from XS to 3XL, with measurements for waist relaxed/stretched, front and back rise, hip, thigh, inseam, and leg opening. End item testing requires maximum 10 percent dimensional stability in wales after 50 washes and 5 percent in course per AATCC TM150, with color matching per AATCC EP9 Option C using CIE Illuminant D65 at 6500K. The specification identifies 26 defect categories, distinguishing between major and minor defects related to materials, components, shade, bartacks, cleanliness, and labels. Sampling follows ASQ/ANSI Z1.4 standards with acceptance quality limits specified in the contract. Labels must include a size label and identification/care label from the top of waistband with an 8-point font and QR code (½ inch x ½ inch). Packaging requirements are specified in the contract per Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support guidance.
