(2) Trousers.
(a) Crotch. Check to see that the crotch of the trouser has sufficient ease to allow enough
comfort for the soldier. The properly fitted crotch in a trouser will exhibit no vertical breaks, display
no drooping or appear to have a tight binding effect to the wearer.
(b) Length. The trousers must hang straight from the seat so the bottom of the front
crease of the trousers will reach the top of the instep and be cut on a diagonal line to reach a
point approximately midway between the top of the heel and the top of the standard shoe in the
back. The trousers may have a slight break in the front.
