The fabric and the shade were developed by Raefford Military Fabrics, a subsidiary of Burlington Industries. All uniforms are designed with the cadet growth in mind, every garment must be able to be altered two sizes up or down to accommodate the cadet physical changes.
Cadets are issue uniforms during their second and third years to supplement the initial issue.
