3.10.2 Stitches, seams and stitching. All seams and stitching shall conform to ASTM D6193.

All seams shall have 10-14 stitches per inch. Seam allowances shall be maintained with seams sewn so that no raw edges, runoffs, pleats or open seams occur. Thread tensions shall be maintained so that there will be no loose stitching resulting in loose bobbin or top thread or excessively tight stitching resulting in puckering of the materials sewn. The width of overedging shall be 3/16 to 1/4-inch. The guide and knives for the overedge machines shall be set to trim only the raveled edges of the fabric. All seams shall start and finish evenly. The trimming shall not exceed 1/16-inch. The edge and top stitching shall be uniformly gauged.

3.10.2.1 Types 301 and 302 stitching. All joining seams shall use a type 301 stitch. A type 302 stitch may be used in place of a double-needle 301 stitch to attach the braid with cord-edge at the top of the curtain. Ends of all stitches shall be backstitched or overstitched not less than 1/4-inch except where ends are turned under or caught in other seams or stitches. Ends of a continuous line of stitching shall be backtacked or overstitched not less than 1/2-inch. The lockstitch shall be imbedded in the materials sewn.

3.10.2.2 Repairs of type 301 and 302 stitching. Repairs of type 301 stitching shall be as follows:

a. When thread breaks, skipped stitches, run-offs, or bobbin runouts occur during sewing, the stitching shall be repaired by restarting the stitching a minimum of 1/2-inch back of the end of the stitching. 1/

b. Thread breaks or two (2) or more consecutive skipped or run-off stitches noted during inspection of the item shall be repaired by overstitching. The stitching shall start a minimum of 1/2-inch in back of the defective areas, continue over the defective area and continue a minimum of 1/2-inch beyond the defective area onto the existing stitching. Loose or excessively tight stitching shall be repaired by removing the defective stitching without damaging the materials and restitching in the required manner. 1/

1/ When making the above repairs, the ends of the stitching are not required to be backstitched.

3.10.2.3 Types 401, 502, 503, 515, 516, and 519 stitching. Thread tension shall be maintained so that there will be no loose or excessively tight stitching resulting in puckering of the materials sewn. All repairs shall be in accordance with 3.10.2.2a and 3.10.2.2b. Type 301 stitching may be used in repairing type 401 stitching.

3.10.5.2 Crown top (gusset) and crown side pieces. The crown top (gusset) shall be folded in half in the length direction and stitched according to the markings on the pattern. The gusset stitching shall create a dart that tapers to a point 3/4 (± 1/8) inch from each pointed end of the crown top. The gusset shall be pressed flat with dart in folded position. The crown side piece shall be stitched to the appropriate edge of gusset 1/4-inch from the raw edge in accordance with pattern notches and the edges shall be overedge stitched together. The front and back ends of crown side shall be stitched together up to pattern notches. The crown top shall be stitched to crown side pieces aligning crown ends with crown seams. The seam allowances of the front and back ends of the crown side pieces shall be spread open and the seam allowance of the crown top shall be flattened towards the crown sides. The seams shall be top-stitched 1/16-inch away from each side of the seams. The raw edge around the bottom of the crown shall be overedge stitched.

Stitch the sweatband to the garrison cap with 3/16-inch zig-zag stitching, simultaneously inserting and catching the top edge of the combination label in the top edge of stitching on the left inside crown piece. Overlap ends of sweatband 1-1/4 (±1/4) inches and either turn top end under 1/4 to 3/8-inch or overedge top end.

3.10.6 Repairs. Repairs such as mends, darns, patches, or splices to the basic material or backing material are not permitted on the garrison cap. Repairs to open seams or missed stitches shall be as specified in 3.10.2.2.

3.10.7 Pressing. Remove all wrinkles, press marks and gloss on the outside. The crown top shall not be exposed above the crown side joining seam by more than 1/8-inch. The bottom edge of the garrison cap shall have a rolled appearance without being creased, and the sweatband shall not show on the outside of the finished garrison cap. The front and back ends of the garrison cap shall not be creased.
