RATINGS' UNIFORM—DEVIATION FROM STANDARD PATTERNS. It has again come to the notice of the Naval Board that ratings buying Service clothing on shore are sometimes supplied with articles of uniform which deviate considerably from standard sealed patterns. Examples of this are jumpers cut in "U " shape and much too low, collars narrow and overlong, and trousers tailored to produce an exaggerated bell-bottom effect. 2. It is permitted that made-to-measure garments may be completed, if desired, with the following extras which in no way affect the cut or outward appearance of uniforms, and for which provision has been made in current contracts, viz.:— (a) leather bindings or tapings on cuffs of trousers; (b) straight tops on fly trousers; (c) extra inside pockets on S.B. jackets; (d) hip pockets on fly trousers; (e) fob pockets on fly trousers; (/) extension bands and pleats on fly trousers; (g) zipp fasteners on fall trousers.
