3.4.3 Label/tag. Each item will be individually bar coded with a paper tag for personal
clothing items. The paper tag will be standard bleached sulfate having a basis weight of
100 pounds. The paper used for the tags will have a smooth finish to accept thermal transfer
and direct printing. The tags will have a hole and will be attached to each item by a fastener, clearly
legible and readable by scanner. The bar coding element will be a 13 digit national
stock number (NSN). There will be a 12 digit unit price control number (UPC) assigned for NSN's by
the procuring agency. The initial letters UPC must appear beneath the code.
The bar code NSN and UPC type will be a medium to high code density and will be located
so that it is completely visible on the item when it is folded an/or packaged as specified and
so that it causes no damage to the item. The UPC code must also be placed on all shipping cartons on
which the NSN appears.
3.5 Design. The cap is a fully lined cold weather head covering having a turndown
Forehead flap (sinus protector), three-piece crown, a stretch gusset with an elastic strap at
center back and earlaps with nylon fastener hook and pile tape overlap closure (see Figure 1).
3.6 Patterns. Standard patterns, which provide a 3/16 inch seam allowance for joining
forehead flap to flap lining and 3/8 inch for all other seams, will be furnished by the Government. The
Government patterns, which show directional lines and markings for
proper assembly, will not be altered in any way and are to be used as a guide for cutting contractor's
working patterns.
The working patterns will be identical to the Government patterns except that additional notching to
facilitate manufacture is permissible. Also, minor modifications are permitted where necessary when
using automatic equipment. These modifications shall not alter the dimensional, serviceability, or
appearance requirements.
3.6.1 Pattern parts. The pattern parts and applicable material for cutting the cap parts will
be as specified in Table I.
