Fabrics for Air Force Dress Uniform Applications.

Abstract

A comparative analysis of five potential uniform fabrics with the currently authorized Cloth, Tropical, Polyester/Wool, Specification Mil-C-21115F and Cloth, Serge, Polyester/Wool, Specification Mil-C-83048 was conducted to determine their relative suitability for dress uniform application. The five materials consist of two woven texturized fabrics and three knit fabrics. On the basis of this evaluation, the texturized fabrics possess properties and attributes befitting a uniform material while the knit's high propensity to snagging and picking detracts from its potential as such.
