Officer's Khaki Cotton Uniform
This page was last updated:
August 31, 2011
Army officers needed to stay cool in their
uniforms so that they could lead their troops. Comfort was of key concern
for summer uniforms and this uniform performs as ordered. This cotton
uniform was typical for the officer's working uniform due to it's ease of
laundering. In contrast to the worsted tan summer uniform made from
100% wool tropical and gabardine fabric, this cotton garment was more
durable and could withstand use longer in the field. Cotton can be
starched and creased making for that real crisp disciplined appearance.
This uniform saw widespread use as a dress or field uniform in the Pacific
Theater such as Hawaii, The Philippines, certain areas of the southern
United States, as well as North Africa and the Mediterranean Theater.
In lieu of the cotton summer uniforms shown on this
page you will also find officer's worsted wool summer weight tan uniform
dress shirts and dress trousers under our
Officer's Wool Winter Uniform pages.
