3.2.14.1 Slide fastener tape. The tape shall be 100% polyester and dyed cotton to approximate
the shade of the outer-shell material before oxidizing treatment is applied. Darker shades of the
treated tapes will be acceptable provided that the shade of the tape before treatments and after
dry cleaning meet the specified color requirements.
3.3 Design. The parka shall be single-breasted. The front closure of the parka shall have a
protective flap with a loop and button closure and another protective flap beneath running the
full closure of the slide fastener. Beneath the right front (as worn) slide fastener there shall be a
protective flap running the full course of the slide fastener, another protective flap with a loop
and button closure shall be positioned over the left slide fastener. The parka shall incorporate a
mouton-lined hood with fur face trimming. The size of the hood shall be adjustable by means of
a 4-bar, friction-type slider, a hood strap, and a tunneled drawcord. The waist of the parka shall
be adjusted by a tunneled drawcord. The parka shall incorporate two welt-type slash pockets
constructed of the outer-shell fabric and closed by snap fasteners. The parka shall also have two
lower inside hanging pockets with flaps and snap fastener closures. Reinforcement patches
constructed of the outer-shell fabric shall be provided at the elbows of the sleeves and the left
sleeve shall contain a utility pocket.
3.4 Stitches, seams and stitchings. Stitches, seams, and stitchings used in the construction of the
parka shall conform to ASTM D-6193. Wherever two or more methods, of seams, or stitches are
specified for the same operation, any one of them may be used. Where stitch type 401 is used,
the longer (under thread) shall be on the inside of the garment.
3.4.1 Type 301 stitching. Ends of all stitching shall be backstitched or overstitched not less than
1/4 inch except where ends are turned under or caught in other seams or stitching. Ends of a
continuous line of stitching shall overlap not less than 1/2 inch. Thread tensions shall be
maintained so that there will be no loose stitching resulting in loose bobbin or top thread or
excessively tight stitching resulting in puckering of the materials sewn. The locks shall be
imbedded in the materials sewn.
