Abstract

Document describes the Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility (NCTRF), Natick, Massachusetts, which designs and develops all protective clothing, dress uniforms and utility garments worn by most Navy personnel. Consequently, it conducts research on fabrics and materials which it develops into clothing items that it tests and evaluates before introduction to the Fleet. Fire-prevention clothing, cold-weather garments, women's wear, deep-sea swimsuit materials, boots and shoes, insignia, buoyant-ballistic vests, decompression-chamber clothing, handwear, and dress and work uniforms are only some of the clothing products developed by NCTRF.
