ACU Full Size9 Important Changes

The new ACUs are here! As the largest supplier of US military uniforms, Propper always strives to stay up-to-date on any changes to Department of Defense specs. So we are excited to announce the new ACUs trousers and coat are now in stock. Uniforms have evolved over the years as needs changed and combat conditions called for new requirements. The Army recently updated the specs for the ACU, modifying the cut and functionality of the uniform and the camouflage pattern. Below is a detailed explanation of the changes:

Coat

- Mandarin collar has been replaced with a fold down collar design

- Upper sleeve pocket hook and loop flap closure replaced with a zipper

- Pocket has been lengthened by one inch

- Elbow patch pad removed and hook and loop for patches removed, but double fabric reinforcement has been retained

- Sleeve pen pocket reduced from three pen channels to two

Trousers

- Drawstring removed from waistband

- Cord and barrel removed from cargo pocket and replaced with button closure

- Knee patch pad removed and hook and loop for patches removed, but double fabric reinforcement has been retained

- Hook and loop on lower leg pocket flap replaced with button closure.
