(a) SubGarments. The subgarments for the chest measurement are the undershirt and
dress shirt. Subgarments for the all weather coat try--on are the undershirt, shirt, trousers and
coat.
(b) Measurements. The chest and height measurement are needed to select try--on size
and model.
(c) Selection of Try–On Garment. Attach all weather coat line for try--on purposes. Using
the individual’s height and chest measurements, refer to size prediction table 3--6 for size of the
initial try--on garment. If the individual’s measurements are close to the minimum or maximum
indicated on the size prediction table, select two sizes for try--on. For example, if the individual’s
height is 5 feet, 11 inches, and his chest measurement is between 43 and 45 inches, try--on both
the 44 regular and 44 long to get the proper length garment. If the individual’s height is 5 feet, 10
inches with a chest measurement of 43 inches, try--on both the 42 regular and 44 regular. In
either case, if the selected garment does not fit, try--on additional garments until the best fit is
achieved prior to making alterations.

to be uncomfortable.
(c) Sleeves. The sleeves of the long sleeve shirt must fall to the lower part of the
wristbone.
