1. The Shirt

When wearing the shirt, a V-neck shaped undershirt will be worn.

The shirt will be fully tucked-in so that it is in a professional manor (not bagging out).When not wearing the tie/tab, the top button (colar button) will be unbuttoned.  When wearing the tie/tab, it will be buttoned.All buttons must be replaced and all strings should be cut off (around the patches and near the collar are likely places for strings).

For females, the nagetag is centered between the lapel and arm seam, 1-3 inches above the top button.The shirt should be laundered and starch should be applied after laundering.  Ranks are worn facing down the collar half (the triangular point).  Each side of the rank should be touch the seams on each side.  When worn correctly, the ranks should be facing upwards (when wearing a tie/tab).

 

The tie/tab should be worn in a professional manner, and tied correctly.  The tie should not be worn out of proportion (being too long or too short).  An appropriate length for the tie is near the belt buckle.  Note:  The tie/tab can get very dirty quickly.  Due to the sensitive material, dry-clean, do not launder.

The coat should be dry-cleaned, not laundered, due to the sensitive material.  Note:  it can get very dirty quickly.  When not worn, it would be helpful to put a plastic covering over it.

For males, the belt is threaded through the loops to your left.  For females, the belt is threaded through the loops to your right.  Only the metal tip of the buckle should show (not the clamping metal part).  The edge of the belt will be perfectly aligned with the seam of your shirt and zipper of the pants.  This is known as your gig line.  The metal clamp can be used to adjust the belt for a propper fit.  The excess of the belt should be cut off (NOT THE PART WITH THE METAL TIP).
