* One time initial testing to be performed at the beginning of the production contract only.

Note 1: Drying Time Test Method

1. Fabric samples and blotting paper should be conditioned at 65 +/- 2% RH and 21 +/- 1o C (70 +/- 2o F) for a minimum of four hours before testing.

2. Test three specimens from each sample. Each specimen consists of a 2” x 2” piece cut wearing gloves. The long dimension should be cut parallel to warp direction. Mark each specimen for identification as a part of the sample set.

3. Weight the conditioned sample using a laboratory balance, accurate to 0.1 g.

4. Place 100ml of distilled or reverse osmosis water into a 250ml beaker.

5. Submerge one specimen in the beaker for 30 minutes. Make certain that the specimen is completely submerged under the water to insure complete wetting.

6. Remove from the specimen and sandwich it between two pieces of unused blotter paper and pass it through the wringer. Leave the piece sandwiched in the wet blotters.

Repeat this process for the remaining two specimens of the same sample.

7. Weigh the blotted specimens one at a time.

8. Record the weight as wet weight.

9. Hang each sample separately to dry in a location that is in conditions of 65 +/- 2% RH and 21 +/- 1oC (70 +/- 2oF).

3.6.3 Stitches, seams and stitching. Stitch, seam and stitching types shall conform to the requirements of ASTM D6193. Unless otherwise specified, stitch type 301 shall be used for topstitching, edgestitching or stitching visible on the outside of the jacket. For joining seams, stitch type 301 or 401 shall be used. When 301 or 401 are used, stitch type 504 may be used to overedge seams. As an alternate, stitch types 516 or 517 may be used to join and overedge seams. Seam allowances shall be maintained with seams sewn so that no raw edges, runoffs, twists, pleats, puckers or open seams result. All seams shall start and finish evenly. Thread tension shall be maintained so that there is no tight or loose stitching. Any edgestitching shall be

1/16 to 1/8 inch. The guides and knives on the safety stitch machine shall be set to trim only the raveled ends of the fabric. Stitch gauge for edgestitching shall be 10-12 stitches per inch. All other 301 stitching shall have 10-12 stitches per inch. For overedge stitching (stitch type 504), the stitches per inch shall be 8-12 stitches per inch. All material edges shall not ravel; edges may be either turned-in, turned-under, or overedged to prevent raveling. Seams required to be forced out, and having a depth between the fold of 1/8 inch or more, shall be considered a defect. All seams that junction shall meet within ¼ inch. Thread breaks and ends of stitching not caught in another line of stitching shall be backstitched at least ½ inch. The ends of a continuous line of stitching (except label) shall be overlapped not less than ½ inch. The ends of the label stitching shall be overlapped not less than 3 stitches. All thread ends shall be trimmed to ¼ inch maximum. After completion, the finished jackets shall be thoroughly cleaned and all loose thread, lint, and foreign matter removed.

3.6.4 Repair of stitching. Thread breaks (all stitch types) shall be secured by stitching back of break not less than ½ inch. Repairs such as mends, darns, patches or splices are not permitted on jackets.

3.6.5 Bartacks. Bartacks shall be a minimum of 3/8” in length and consist of a minimum of 21 stitches.

NOTE 1: Parts suspected as being shaded shall be examined at a distance of three feet against the background of the other parts and colors of the garment. When the shade difference is readily discernible under these examining conditions, it shall be scored as a shaded part.

NOTE 3: Evenness can be determined by comparing measurements or companion parts OR by aligning parts and measuring the difference in lengths as described below. When evenness defects are found, the uniform shall be laid flat on a measuring surface and the difference in lengths recorded.

- Collar – assess by folding the collar at center back and aligning the collar halves at the front setting seam. Front collar edges shall be compared for height.

- Sleeves – shall be aligned from top of shoulder seam or collar joining seam if a raglan construction, smoothed down along sleeve crease to sleeve hem edge. The aligned sleeve lengths shall be visibly inspected for evenness of sleeve lengths.

NOTE 4: A full evaluation of the design’s reflective properties will be evaluated through review of the certificates of conformance submitted.
