14-8. Trousers and slacks, heritage taupe 565

a. Design. The trousers and slacks will be made from gabardine polyester and wool in heritage taupe 565.

b. General description.

(1) Trousers (male Soldiers only). The trousers are straight-legged without cuffs. They have a sewn-on comfort,

freedom fit waistband with hook-and-eye closure; a French fly tab with slide fastener; straight on-seam side pockets;

double back hip pockets; and cut back darts. The left hip pocket has a buttonhole tab and button.

(2) Slacks (female Soldiers only). The slacks are a dress type with a sewn-on two-piece comfort, freedom fit waist-

band with belt loops. The slacks will have straight side seam pockets, two back darts, and a hidden coin pocket. The

front fly has a slide fastener, inner button fly tab and a hook and bar waistband closure. The waistband provides a

rubberized gripper tape.

c. How worn. The back hem of the trousers and slacks should fall approximately midway between the top of the

heel and the top of the standard shoe in the back. The bottom of the front crease of the trousers and slacks should reach

the top of the instep. The trousers and slacks may have a slight break in the front. The trousers and slacks should be

full enough around the hips to prevent the side pockets from spreading. The seat must be an easy fit with no wrinkles

below the back waist. Waist should have 1/2 inch of ease. The waistband bottom should fit within 1/2 inch of the top

of the hipbone (see TM 10–227 for additional fit guidance).
