General Fitting Guidelines

This uniform is designed to be loose fitting. A tight fit reduces airflow needed for ventilation and cooling. The coat will be worn outside the trousers and the trousers will be worn with the issued belt. The coat will not extend below the top of the cargo pocket on the pants and will not be any higher than the bottom of the side pocket on the pants. The trousers will be worn bloused using the draw cords or blousing rubbers if the trousers are not tucked into the boots. Trouser legs will not be wrapped around the leg so tight as to present a pegged appearance.

The front crease of the trousers will reach the top of the instep and be cut on a diagonal line to reach a point approximately midway between the top of the heel and the top of the standard shoe in the back. The trousers may have a slight break in the front.
    Belt Fitting Guidelines: The brass tipped end will pass through the buckle to the wearer’s left and will not extend beyond the end of the buckle so the fabric portion of the belt will not be seen. The plain end (no tip) of the belt may extend beyond the keeper portion of the inside of the buckle as long as it is not visible when worn.

The flash is positioned over the left eye, and the excess material is draped over to the right ear, extending to at least the top of the ear, and no lower than the middle of the ear. Personnel will cut off the ends of the adjusting ribbon and secure the ribbon knot inside the edge binding at the back of the beret. When worn properly, the beret is formed to the shape of the head; therefore, Cadets may not wear hairstyles that cause distortion of the beret.
