CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

a. The proper fit of the Marine Corps uniform is the primary factor necessary to establish a smart military appearance and to ensure comfort and pride in the uniform.

b. The purpose of the Uniform Fitting and Alteration Manual is to provide standards for issue, fit, and inspection of uniform clothing. It provides a method of selecting the nearest stock size which will require minimum alterations to enable a properly fitted uniform. Although the manual talks primarily to the enlisted uniform, it also applies to fitting and altering officers uniform items.

c. It is intended that adherence to the instructions contained in this manual will reduce and ultimately eliminate the disparity in fitting techniques and authorized alterations which exist due to individual standards and opinions. It is emphasized that the instructions contained in this manual are for use in fitting and altering uniform clothing and in no way should be construed as instructions on the wearing of the uniform.

d. Commanding Officers are responsible for the proper fit of uniform clothing on personnel of their respective commands and shall ensure that all alterations, either at Government expense or at the expense of the individual, conform to the intent of the regulations and guides outlined herein. The wearing of improperly fitted or altered uniform clothing is prohibited.

e. The term 11 Commanding Officer, 11 as used herein, includes those Marine Corps officers titled as Commanding General, Commander, Commanding Officer,_ District Director, or Inspector-Instructor.

2. Special Measurement and Orthopedic Footwear

a. Special measurement footwear may be requisitioned for personnel who cannot be fitted from standard tariff sizes .

b. Orthopedic footwear and orthopedic alterations to footwear will be furnished only to personnel of the establishment and reserve on extended active duty.

standard regular

c. The necessity for special measurement footwear (including orthopedic footwear or orthopedic alterations) must be determined by a medical officer of the Navy.

d. If it is uncertain as to whether or. not a requirement exists for special measurement footwear, the supply officer will refer the individual to a medical officer of the Navy medical department for final determination.

1-1

TM-10120-15/lB

e. Upon determination that special measurement footwear, orthopedic foot wear or orthopedic alterations to standard footwear are required to fit the individual properly, a prescription will be prepared on a special measurement blank (Blank for Orthopedic Boots and Shoes DD Form-150) and signed by the medical officer. This form will be provided to the supply/clothing officer for preparation of the requisition. The special measurement forms and requisitions will be submitted to the Defense Orthopedic Footwear Clinic (RIC-SIT), 495 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210. Lead times are normally 21 days for recruit requirements and 60 days for otherS.

f. Special measurement footwear will be sold to authorized individuals at the current standard price.

g. Orthopedic footwear will be provided to the authorized individual as a medical item without charge to the individual.

h. When orthopedic alterations to standard replacement footwear are made, the individual will be required to purchase the standard footwear only.

3. Special Measurement Clothing Items

a. Requirements for special measurement clothing will be forwarded by requisition (RIC-S9T), accompanied by the special measurement form (DD Form-358 Men's and DD Form ~~~~Women's) to the Commander (FRDA-2), Defense Personnel Support Center, 2800 S. 20th Street, Building 12, Room 203, Philadelphia, PA 19~45-5099 for their use in procuring the required items. Orders may be faxed to DSN 444- 3163 or commercial 215-737-3163. Points of contact are at DSN 444- 301~/2482/8536 or commercial 215-737-301~/2482/8536.

b. Special measurement clothing will be sold tO authorized individuals at the current standard price.

c. It. is essential that all pertinent blocks of the special measurement forms be completed and information concerning the nearest standard size and the deficiencies thereof be included. For example:

size 46R needs 2 inches more in coat length or waist length and 2 inches more in sleeve; or size as is 2 inches too big in bust area, 1-1/2 inches too long in back length and 2 inches too long in sleeves.

The size selection tables should be used in determining the correct size where try-on sizes are not available and increases/decreases from table dimensions may be given. If by using the tables, a standard size is determined to be within the required fitting range with minor alterations, then the standard size should be altered. Ends of tariff sizes may not be stocked in the system and in case the requisition is returned as ,not stocked, a special measurement form will have to be submitted calling for the required size with a note that this is a non-stock item. Patterns for all sizes of uniform items listed in the tables are available at the Defense Personnel Support Center.

c. TI-8405-50/lA and the materials to accomplish these conversions are available at a nominal fee in a kit from the Commander (Code 876-3), MCLB, 814 Radford Blvd, Albany, GA 31704-1128.

5. Modification of Women's Coats for Sword Slit

a. The women officer's coats require modification by adding a sword slit in the left front in order that the sword may be carried utilizing the web sword belt worn under the coats.

b. Instructions and materials required for this modification are contained in TI-8410-15/1B dated 1 August 1991. This TI is available from the Commander (Code 876-3), MCLB, 814 Radford Blvd, Albany, GA 31704-1128 under PCN 168 084010 00.

c. TI-8410-15/1B and the materials to modify the coats are available at a nominal fee in a kit from the Commander (Code 876-3), MCLB, 814 Radford Blvd, Albany, GA 31704-1128.

6. Name and Service Tapes. Name and service tapes will be sewn on utility uniforms with the ends of the tape turned under and using a plain, straight stitch with thread that matches the tape fabric.

Tapes will be sewn with the bottom of the tape immediately above and parallel to the top of the pocket flaps. The ends of the tape will extend to be aligned with the edges of the coat pocket flaps. On the coat, the name tape will be worn over right breast pocket and the service tape worn over the left breast pocket. A name tape will also be worn above the right rear trouser pocket, with the length of the tape not to exceed 6 inches. If breast insignia is worn on the coat, it will be centered over the tape, with the bottom edge of the insignia 1/2 inch above the tape.

CHAPTER 2

FITTING AND ALTERATION GUIDES FOR MALE PERSONNEL

SECTION I BASIC FITTING AND ALTERATION GUIDES

1. All Fittings shall be Accomplished by the Try-On Method. When a Marine is issued an article of uniform clothing, the first effort should be made to obtain a garment from stock that is closest to his size, as shown in the selection charts herein. Tape measurements are not sufficient to determine the final size. Because of authorized

• manufacturing tolerances, it is sometimes necessary to try on several items of the same labeled size in order to obtain a satisfactory fit with as few alterations as possible. If the fitter understands the sizing system adequately, they will be able to fit most individuals with tariff size garments. The time spent in fitting may more than compensate for the cost of alterations required for the first garment.

2. Fitting for Ease of Alteration. When fitting a garment, it should be remembered that, in general, it is easier to alter by taking in seams rather than letting them out. Uniforms are not to be overfitted, as too precise a fit will only tend to accent a figure fault. The primary factor in establishing a smart military appearance and insuring wearing comfort is proper fit. High morale and pride are created and sustained when the wearer is confident of being well dressed and is at ease in his clothing.

3. Proper Fit. The proper fit of any uniform cannot be accomplished when the individual is standing at rigid attentioni therefore, the individual should stand erect, but relaxed, with the arms hanging naturally at the sides.

4. Authorized Alterations. This manual lists the normal alterations for each uniform item to ensure proper fit. Instances may occur when additional alterations may be required by recruit depots due to stock/size outages, urgency of need or other reasons justified by the proper authority on site. The requirement for issuance of uniforms to recruits is one such justification .

5. Alteration Tolerances. In addition, the alteration tolerances listed herein for fitting certain garments apply only for the purpose of acceptable appearance of the uniform. There is no relationship between these tolerances and those which are permissible in the manufacturing of clothing. Any variations from manufacturing tolerances and subsequent repair or alterations to correct the same fall under the category of "manufacturing defects" and are contained in Chapter 4.

6. Definitions

a. Body Measurement. An individual's physical dimensions measured over underclothing usually worn.

b. Clothing Fitter. A person trained. in fitting clothing. One who is qualified to take fitting measurements and to select the proper size and model garment for try-on. The fitter is familiar with current regulations on fitting uniform garments.

d. Inseam Length. The measured length of the inner seam of the trouser leg from the crotch to a level point with the juncture of welt on the shoe in the rear.

e. Model. Model refers to the length of the Coat, All Weather coat and Trousers. Ordinarily, five separate lengths (models) are established. Extra Short (XS), Short (S), Regular (R), Long (L) and Extra Long (XL) .

f. Outseam Length. The measured length of the outer side seam of the trouser leg from the bottom of the waistband to the juncture of welt of the shoe in the rear.

g. Rise. The length of the body of trousers, extending from the crotch line to the bottom of the waistband. It is obtained by subtracting the inseam length from the outseam length.

h. size Prediction. Choosing the size of the first try-on garment size from a table which is based on certain or all body measurements, as necessary. For example, a man with a chest measurement of 38 inches and a height of 5 feet 9 inches should first try on a size 38 Regular coat. See Table I.

NOTE' Sizes, either larger or smaller than tariff sizes available in stock, shall be acquired through special measu~ement procedures.

7. Sizing Systems. Certain garments and items are supplied in sizes according to fitting importance.

a. Adjective Size. When an exact fit is not critical, the items are supplied in only five or six sizes with each separate size suitable for a certain range of body and head measurements.

b. Numerical Size. When an exact fit is critical to good appearance, close body measurements are important, so the item is supplied in many sizes. For example, uniform 11 Coats 11 are supplied in 71 separate sizes, one size for each 1 inch of body measurement. An example of the numerical sizing system is 38 XShort, 38 Short, 38 Regular, 38 Long, 38 XLong .

c. Tariff Sizes. The size of clothing regularly procured and available in the ·supply system from which the majority of personnel can be properly fitted. A complete range of tariff sizes of all items must be kept in stock at all times.

Approved Concept of Fit

The Marine Corps considers only one appearance as acceptable. This is called the 11Approved Concept of Fit 11 and is the Marine Corps acceptable idea of the manner in which the shirt, trousers, coat, skirt and slacks should conform to the body. The approved concept of fit of a uniform or separate garment is the fit and appearance created when an individual is fitted with the correct size and model {length) for their measurements.

2-3

8. Fitting Procedures

a. Physical Measurements. Measure eaQh individual to determine the initial size for selection of the try-on garment. The key points of measurement are shown in Figure 2-1. Each measurement must be taken over the appropriate subgarment.

FIGURE 2-1 PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS

(1) HEIGHT

From floor to natural height with subject standing in an erect manner.

This measurement must be exact, as it regulates the length of the coat and the depth of the waist.

(2) INSIDE CHEST

Place tape well up under the arms and over the shoulder blades on a horizontal line, taking the floor as a level. This measurement is taken snug. Take measurement from center of the back instead of the • front, with the subject standing in a natural position and not with the chest fully expanded.

(3) WAIST

Measure around waist on the shirt just above the trousers at a point directly over the hipbones; snug but not tight.

(4) SEAT

Measure around the largest part of the hips· or seat.

(5) CROTCH

The point of the human body where the legs fork from the pelvis. This is not a measurement, but is a point from which measurements are taken.

2-4

(6) INSEAM

Place the tape firm and well up against the crotch at (5), and measure down to the floor along the leg of the inside seam to the juncture of the heel and sole.

(7) OUTSEAM

Place the tape on the subject atop the hipbone, at the lower edge of waistband seam and measure to bottom of the trousers. The measurement is taken along the length of the outside seam.

(8) RISE

This measurement is the difference between the inseam and the outseam measurements.

(9) NECK

Measure the circumference of the neck at the collar line.

(10) SLEEVE

Raise arm of the subject and bend the arm at a right angle, bring forward the forearm parallel to the floor, with palms down; measure from center of back to sleeve seam, continue around the elbow to the wrist bone. This measurement gives the full sleeve length for most long sleeve shirts. Coat sleeve lengths are taken from under the arm to the proper position at the wrist.

b. The basic design of individual uniform garments, together with the variance of bodily characteristics, makes it mandatory that there be a definite sequence of check points for fitting uniforms. These check points listed herein for each garment are arranged in descending priority of importance.

SECTION II MALE PERSONNEL QNIFQRM ITEMS

1. Shirts. Man's: Long Sleeve and Quarter Length Sleeve

a. General Information. The fit of long sleeve shirts is determined by neck sizes and sleeve lengths. The fit of quarter length sleeve shirt is determined by the neck size. (See Tables II and III.)

b. Fitting. Long sleeve shirt shall be fitted. over an undershirt, with collar buttoned and sleeves unbuttoned. The short sleeved shirt shall be fitted over an undershirt with all front buttons secured.

2. Trousers. Man's: Seryice Dress Blue and White

a. General Information

(1) Design. Trousers are sized numerically according to the waist measurement and are supplied in waist sizes 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44. They are designed to fit smoothly, but not tightly, around the hips, seat and waist with a slight fullness for comfort. The rise, which is automatically built into the trousers from the patterns, varies with the different lengths. For example, if an individual is fitted in trousers of an incorrect length, the rise will not be correct and will result in bagginess or tightness in the trousers seat. Rise also varies with slim waist sizes and large sizes. The proper rise in trousers automatically provides proper fitting in the seat, around the hips, in the crotch and at the waist.

2-7

TM-10120-1S/1B

(2) Sizing System. Trousers are sized numerically according to the waist measurement and are supplied in 1 or 2 inch waist sizes, such as 30, 31, 32, etc. Trousers are provided in models of five lengths according to inseam length based on height. (Trouser inseam lengths include the intended turnup of approximately 3 inches.) For example, 32-inch inseam, extra short; 34-inch inseam, short; 36-inch inseam, regular; 38-inch inseam, long; and 40-inch inseam, extra long.

All trousers are labeled with the waist size first and the inseam length next. (See Table IV.)

(3) Ornamental Stripes. The ornamental or scarlet stripes for dress trousers shall be positioned on the front panel of the trousers with the back edge of the stripe aligned with the outseam and edge of the pocket opening and stitched to the trousers from the top of the fronts to the lower end of the pocket opening 1/8 inch from each edge of the stripe. (NOTE: Do not stitch the pocket shut.)

The stitching (1/8 inch from each edge of the stripe) is to continue to the bottom edge of the leg, with the stripe gradually worked toward the back panel of the trousers so that the stripe is centered over the outseam. The top of the stripe is to finish at or in the waist seam and the bottom end of the stripe is to be turned up in the hem.

b. General Fitting Procedures

(1) Subgarments. Subgarments required for the fitting of trousers are cotton underwear, dress shirt, socks and low quarter shoes.

(2) Measurements. (Figure 2-1.) Take waist and inseam length measurements before selecting a try-on garment. Measure the waist over the shirt, holding the tape snugly but not tightly, at a point directly atop the hipbone. Add 1 inch to the ·measurement indicated by the tape. Measure the inseam from the crotch to the juncture of the heel and sole.

c. Try-on. Select try-on trousers as indicated by the fitting measurement (Figure 2-1). Figures 2-4, 2-5 and 2-6 depict the proper concept of fit. Check the following P.Oints while the individual is wearing the try-on trousers.

(1) Rise. The trousers must fit without looseness or constriction. Place the hand under the crotch to insure that the trousers are up in the crotch. A short rise results in tightness and discomfort; a long rise results in a baggy trouser seat and crotch that creates an unsightly appearance. Make sure the bottom of the waistband is atop of the hipbone, plus or minus 1/2 inch.

2-8

TM-10120-15/1B

(2) Seat. The trousers must have an easy fit around the seat.

There must be no wrinkles below the back waist. Check to see that the trousers are sufficiently full around the hips to prevent spreading of the side pockets and to allow for comfort and stride in normal movements, such as sitting, climbing stairs and marching. Whenever there is a question as to which of two sizes is more suitable, select the trousers that fit the seat better, even though a waist alteration may be required.

(3) Crotch. Check the crotch by placing one hand at the fly and the other hand at the back of the trousers in the crotch. Move the hands horizontally. Properly fitted trousers must have a slight ease.

(4) Waist. Check to see that the trousers fit easily around the natural waist without bulging, with the bottom of the waistband atop the hipbone plus or minus 1/2 inch. There should be a minimum of 1/2 inch to a maximum of 1 inch ease around the waist (Figure 2-10).

(5) The proper position for fitting of all trousers is by placing the bottom of the waistband atop the hipbones, plus or minus 1/2 inch, in the direction that the individual would normally wear his trousers. The foregoing is applicable when wearing a belt or suspenders. (See Fig 2-4)

Figure 2-4: Trouser, Rear View 2-9

TM-10120-15/l.B

Figure 2-5: Trouser, Hip and Pocket Fitting

(6) Trousers shall be of sufficient looseness around the hips and buttocks to preclude gaping of the pockets and visible horizontal wrinkles in the front near the pelvis. (See Figure 2-5)

(7) The fly of the trousers shall hang in a vertical line without gaping when unzipped.

Figure 2-6: Trouser, Rise

(B) The rise is that measurement from the crotch to the bottom of the waistband. Too short a rise results in tightness and discomfort; too long a rise results, in "drooping, of the seat and crotch of the trousers and exhibits an unsightly appearance. The rise of the trousers shall allow 1/2- inch to l-inch looseness to assure comfort and "stride 11 in normal movements such as sitting, ascending steps and marching. (See Figure 2-6.)

2-10

Figure 2-7: Trouser, Hem

(9) The trousers shall be of sufficient length to reach the juncture of the welt of the shoe in the rear. (See Figure 2.7) A variation of 1/4 inch above or below the welt is acceptable.

Figure 2-8: Trouser Hemming, Template Design

(10) The unfinished hem of the trouser legs shall be marked on the bias and shall be accomplished by using a template pattern (See Figure 2-8). The cut and hem are not to be a straight line.

2-11

Figure 2-9: Trouser, Length and Break in Crease

(11) When the legs of the trousers have been hemmed they must hang straight from the seat so that fronts will rest on the top of the shoes with a slight break in the lower front crease. The front length of the trousers shall finish approximately 3/4 to 1 inch shorter than the back length. (See Figure 2-9.)

Figure 2-10: Trouser, Looseness in Waist

(12) The measurement of the waist is the final consideration and is secondary to a proper seat fit. If the seat fits well, the waist may be altered accordingly. There shall be 1/2 to 1 inch looseness for proper fit and comfort. {Figure 2-10.) There shall be no horizontal wrinkles across the rear of the trousers below the waistband.

2-12

d. Alterations

(1) The waist may be increased or decreased.

(2) The seat may also be increased or decreased; however, when decreasing the seat seam, particular attention should be given to the fit of the crotch and the position the alteration places the hip pockets on the individual.

(3) If, after initial issue, height growth requires lengthening of the trousers, a 2 1/2-inch hem is authorized.

3. Coats. ·Man's: Service and Dress

a. General Information. The service and dress coats are provided in a numeric sizing system, including the length sizes, dependent upon the individual's height. (See Tables V and VI)

( 1) The service coat is intended to be a SEMI FORMFITTING garment.

( 2) The dress blue coat is intended to be a FORMFITTING garment.

b. Fittina. The service coat shall be fitted over the shirt and trousers, with the coat fastened and the belt secured. The dress coat shall be fitted over an undershirt and trousers, with the web belt buckled on either side of the front of the fly, rather than at the center front. The waist seam line of the coat shall fall over the top edge of the web belt on the trousers with a variance of plus or minus 1/4 inch allowable. The length of the coat must extend below the crotch line approximately 3/4 inc.

ease.

Figure 2-11: Dress Blue Coat Collar

(1) The collar of the dress coat shall have 1/2 to 1 inch (See Figure 2-11.)

(2) Unless otherwise indicated herein, all other fitting checks and tolerances applicable to the dress coat are the same as those of the service coat. (See Figures 2-12, 2-13, 2-14, 2-15, 2-16.)

2-14

Figure 2-12: Dress Coat, Back and Shoulder View

2-15

Figure 2-13: Dress Coat, Side View

Figure 2-14: Dress Coat, Rear Vent

(3) The back of the coat should hang smoothly, with the rear vent and back seam effecting a straight vertical line. (See Figure 2-14} .

(4) The coat has been so designed that, when the waist seam is fitted directly on top of the web belt, a proper length for the coat will be attained. A coat of excessive length tends to cause the rear vent to flare open, while a coat of insuffi cient length may create an excessive front overlap.

(5) The horizontal edges of the front and rear panels shall be even; however, a tolerance of 1/4 inch is acceptable.

2-16

Figure 2-15: Service Coat, Front Closure

2-17

Figure 2-16: Service Coat Sleeve

Figure 2-17: Service Coat, Shoulder Fitting

(6) The collar should fit smoothly at the back. The shoulder padding of the coat should extend approximately 1/2 inch beyond outer edge of the shoulder joint, thereby providing a straight appearance with the upper part of the sleeve. There should be no constrictive binding at the armhole. (See Figure 2-17.)

Figure 2-18: Service Coat, Chest and Lapel View

(7) The service and dress coats should rest easily on the chest, without bulges. The front collar and lapels of the service coat should give a smooth appearance. {See Figure 2-18.)

2-18

Figure 2-19: Service Coat, Front Closure

{8) The left side of the front closure should overlap the right side approximately 3 to 4 inches. When body conformation precludes obtaining the minimum, less than 3 inches is permissible, provided the front does not gap open and is parallel to the pocket edges. The front closure of the coat will not form a vertical line with the crotch, but will offset it by 3/4 inch to the wearer's right.

(See Figure 2-19.) The bottom edges of the front panels shall be even, plus or minus 1/4 inch.

Figure 2-20: Service Coat, Sleeve Length

(9) The coat sleeve shall extend to a point 1 inch above the second joint from the end of the thumb, plus or minus 1/4 inch, and must cover the shirt cuff edge. (See Figure 2-20) .

2-19

Figure 2-21: Service Coat, Back Flare

{10) The design of the service coat calls for a flared skirt to permit ease of movement. Flares that are considered excessive and adversely affect the over all appearance shall be decreased.

A gathering of up to 1 inch of material on both of the side seams of the flare is allowable. {See Figure 2-21.)

Figure 2-22: Service Coat, Rear Vent

(11) The left side of the back vent shall overlap the right side approximately 3 to 4 inches. In some cases, the profile of the individual precludes obtaining the minimum overlap. In those cases, a minimum of 1 1/2 inch overlap is permissible, provided the vertical edge of the vent closure is straight. {See Figure 2-22.)

2-20

Figure 2-23: Service Coat, Back Waist Fit

{12) There should be sufficient fullness in the fit of the service coat to allow l-inch fold under each arm to provide a total of 2 inches of fullness in the chest area. The belt shall be adjusted loosely enough to provide a smooth appearance with approximately 2-3/4 to 3-3/4 inches in length past the buckle edge. Slight wrinkles at the belt line are permissible. (See Figure 2-23.) In the dress coat, there shall be a l-inch fullness in the chest area and 1/2-inch fullness in the waist.

{13) When fitting recruits, the service coat may have up to 2-inches of fullness at the waist and the dress coat up to 1-1/2 inches in the chest and waist to compensate for expected profile changes.

c. Alterations NOTE: Altering the service coat to a formfitting garment is prohibited.

(1) Shoulders. Raising or lowering the shoulders eliminates wrinkles and folds in the back and below the shoulders of the coat and compensates for uneven shoulder heights. It consists of adding shoulder padding to raise the shoulders or removing existing padding to lower the shoulders.

{2) Waist and Hip. Taking in or letting out the side seams should be done only after the next larger or smaller size has been tried. Front buttons may be repositioned not to exceed 1/4 inch for further refinement of fit.

2-21

(3) Sleeves. When lengthening or shortening sleeves is desired, make certain each sleeve is measured and marked. When shortening the sleeve, the sleeve cuff shall be removed, cut the bottom of the sleeve to the desired length, then replace the sleeve cuff. When lengthening the sleeves, remove the cuff, add at the bottom of each sleeve a strip of basic material equal to the amount of the length desired, then replace the cuff at the bottom of the sleeve. The sleeve can be lengthened as much as 2 inches.

(4) Collar. In cases of long or short necks, raising or lowering the collar improves the fitting and appearance. This alteration is performed by removing the undercollar and inner top ..

collai stitching, then repositioning for proper fit. Restitch the collar in its new position, then press. Collar must not be raised or lowered over 3/8 inch.

4. Coat. All-Weather. Man's

a. General Information. The coat, all-weather is provided in a numeric sizing system, including the length size selection, depending on the individual's height (See Table VII). The coat is a full length, double breasted, belted coat with a detachable liner.

b. Fitting. The coat, all weather, shall be fitted over the service coat with the liner zipped in the coat and will be of the same size as the service coat or one numeric size larger (because the coat, all weather, is manufactured in even sizes). In only exceptional circumstances will the coat, all weather, be of a smaller size than the service coat.

Figure 2-24: All-Weather Coat, Sleeve Length

(1) The sleeve of the coat shall extend beyond the undergarment sleeve by 1/2 i_nch plus or minus 1/4 inch. (See Figure 2-24.) .

(2) The coat, all-weather, with the zipper liner attached shall fit smoothly across the chest and shoulder blades but shall have a noticeable fullness at the back waist, providing a pleated effect of the material under the belt. (See Figures 2-25 and 2-26).

Figure 2-26: All-Weather coat Rear View

Figure 2-27: All-Weather Coat, Side View, Length

{3) The target length when fitting the coat shall be to a point midway between the knee and mid-calf. In all cases, the coat must be at least long enough to reach the bottom of the kneecap and must not extend below the midcalf. (See Figure 2-27)

{4) The belt shall pass through the buckle to the wearer's left, adjusted loosely enough to provide a smooth appearance, maintained in a horizontal position and not sagging at the center front or back. The belt length varies depending on the undergarments worn and if the liner is used. Therefore, the belt length shall be a minimum of 1 inch past the belt keeper to a maximum of 1-1/2 inches past the left belt loop of the coat.

(5) The back of the collar shall cover all subgarment collars.

c. Alterations.

(1) The length of the coat and/or belt may be shortened.

{2) The buttons may be adjusted a maximum of 1/2 inch either way to loosen or reduce the body of the coat.

{3) The length of the sleeves may be decreased or increased.

Measure and mark each sleeve individually. Open the sleeve seam and remove the sleeve strap and buttons so that they can be properly !?OSitioned onto the sleeves after the alterations have been made.

Position the straps 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inches from the finished bottom edge of sleeves. When it is necessary to shorten the sleeves, the liner sleeves may also have to be shortened if they extend below the bottom of the coat sleeves. Liner buttons and sleeve retaining loops should be repositioned as required.

General Information. The frame and garrison caps are provided same numeric sizing system.

b. Fitting. If the cap size is not known, take head measurements for try-on purposes. To measure for head size, hold tape measure snugly around the largest part of the head across the forehead, and over the temples, parallel to the ground. When fitting recruits, allow for normal hair length. The size prediction from head measurement to cap sizes is as shown in Table X .

Figure 2-30: Frame Cap, Front View

Figure 2-31: Frame Cap, Side View 2-33

(1) Frame cap. The frame cap shall fit snugly and comfortably around the largest part of the head. The lower band of the frame shall rest high enough on the head to preclude the top of the head forcing the cover above the natural tautness of the cover. The front view of the frame shows the bottom of the visor to be slightly (approximately 1/2 inch) above the eye level of the wearer. (See Figures 2-30 and 2-31).

Figure 2-32: Garrison Cap, Side View

{2) Garrison Cap. The fit around the head shall be adequate to place the cap on the head but will not cause the top or front/rear contour of the cap to "break. 11 The cap shall be worn centered or slightly tilted to the right. (See Figure 2-32).

{3) Utility Cap. The camouflage utility cap is provided in five alpha sizes: X small through X large. See Table X. The caps should be fitted to the head measurement and shall be worn centered on the head, sweatband parallel to the deck, with the bottom front edge of the visor even with the horizontal plain of the eyebrows.
