Ruth Nischwitz, superintendent of the Air Force Uniform Section. With recent design modifications came some minor changes to the fit of military uniforms. The military clothing sales staff is familiar with these changes and trained on the latest uniform sizing policies, the sergeant said. Free alterations are available for enlisted issue items.
Adjustments also apply to outer garments, such as the all weather coat.
For people who cannot find clothing that fits or that can be altered from the available sizes, a special measurement service is offered free for enlisted issue items, said the sergeant. Sergeant Nischwitz said these orders are subject to a manufacturer's special tailoring fee that may be as high as 175 percent above the cost of a stock uniform and can take up to eight to 10 weeks for delivery. The other is to address any problems or suggestions you may have to the appropriate agency. Suggestions for changing a uniform item's design or fabric should be addressed on an Air Force Form 1000 to the military personnel flight's customer service section.
