About this file
This document is a Department of Defense Clothing and Textiles raw material specification for a Shadow Box Dobby Ripstop fabric (Fabric# AR-MTP-24-155) for the Army in 2024. The fabric is a woven, solid, coyote-colored material composed of 100% nylon with a 40 denier yarn and a lightweight 1.6 oz/yd^2 weight. It is classified as a Type I solid color fabric with specific performance requirements including minimum break strengths (110 lbs warp, 80 lbs fill), tear strengths, water vapor transmission rates, air permeability, and dimensional stability after washing.
The specification includes detailed testing and quality control standards from ASTM International and AATCC, with rigorous color fastness, abrasion resistance, and defect inspection criteria. Key material properties require the fabric to maintain performance characteristics after multiple wash cycles, with tests measuring characteristics like drying time, strength retention, and dimensional stability. The fabric is intended for rolled goods with a ripstop weave, and the document provides comprehensive guidelines for acceptable quality limits, first article testing, and potential defect classifications to ensure the material meets strict Department of Defense textile standards.

General Statements - Inspection Methods Category Description Detail Statements
Inspection Methods Material General Statement General Statement Finished material shall be inspected in accordance with the inspection methods specified and those referenced specifications and standards unless otherwise excluded, amended, or modified in this specification or applicable procurement documents
Inspection Methods Visual Examination General Statement General Statement The end item shall be examined for defects in color, shade, design, material, finish, construction, workmanship, marking, and the defects shall be classified in accordance with the list of defects.
Inspection Methods Yard by Yard Examination General Statement General Statement Each roll or spool in the sample shall be examined yard-by yard on the face side or face and back as deemed necessary for defects. The defects shall be defined in ASTM D3990 and only defects that are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distance (3 feet) shall be scored. Each roll or spool in the sample shall also be examined for shade variation during the yard-by-yard examination. Any roll or spool in the sample containing uneven shade or shade variation side to side, side to center, or end to end, shall be cause for rejection of entire lot represented by the sample.
General Statements - Conformance Category Description Detail Statements
Conformance Inspection Requirement General Statement Samples shall be subjected to Conformance inspections for compliance with design, configuration, workmanship, dimensional and testing requirements. Conformance inspection shall consist of the inspection methods, examinations and tests specified.
Conformance Inspection Material and Component Acceptance Criteria The lot shall be unacceptable if the number of defects exceeds the Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL) or the failure of any test.
Conformance Inspection Material and Component Sampling Unless otherwise specified in subsidiary specifications, referenced documents, or procurement documents material and component sampling shall be (2) sample units for lots 800 yards of less, (3) sample units for lots 801 yards to 22,000 yards and (4) sample units for lots over 22,000 yards. For material testing, the sample unit shall be 5 continuous yards full width of the finished cloth for all physical and chemical tests.
