Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform

Designed By Marines For Marines
ELASTICIZED WAISTBAND The standard waist band with adjustable buckle on the camouflage utility uniform will be replaced with an elasticized waistband on the combat utility uniform. This will allow a more 'automatic' adjustment to the waist and provide a wider range of sizes to allow additional layers of clothing such as poly-propylene or new fleece garments. The elastic waist band is another reason dry cleaning the combat utilities will be discouraged. As with the cargo pocket, the elastic gathers the material at the waist, which would be damaged by steam pressing.
