c. Wear. Soldiers are authorized to wear the short- and long-sleeved shirts with the Class A coat, heritage green 564 unisex pullover sweater, windbreaker, leather service jacket, or Eisenhower jacket.

(1) Soldiers must wear a heritage green four-in-hand necktie when wearing the short- or long-sleeved shirt with the Class A coat or when wearing the long-sleeved shirt as an outer garment without the Class A coat. Soldiers have the option of wearing a tie when the short-sleeved shirt is worn as an outer garment.

(2) Soldiers have the option of wearing a tie when they wear the short- or long-sleeved shirts with the pullover sweater, cardigan, windbreaker, or Eisenhower jacket. If a tie is worn with the pullover sweater, windbreaker, or Eisenhower jacket, Soldiers will wear the collar of the shirt inside the sweater. If no tie is worn with the pullover sweater, the collar is worn outside.

d. How worn. The collar should fit snugly, but not uncomfortably. The shirt should fit easily over the back and chest, allowing free use of arms. The sleeve length of the long-sleeved shirt should fall to the lower part of the wristbone. The rise should fit without looseness or constriction (see TM 10–227 for additional fit guidance).
