Navy Service Dress Khaki Wear Test Commences

Monday June 2, 2008
Wear testing for the proposed Service Dress Khaki uniform has commenced in six major Navy communities.

The wear test encompasses commands in Washington, D.C.; Norfolk; Millington, Tenn.; Newport, R.I.; Yokosuka, Japan; and Pearl Harbor. The style of the Service Dress Khaki is reminiscent of the uniform worn during World War II and Vietnam. The wear test is tentatively scheduled to end in August. A decision will be pending from that point. (Official Navy Photo)

SDK was the best (and best looking) uniform we had. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to bring it back.

looks wonderful, just ensure good quality such as the new Brooks Brothers Blues.
Our current Khaki uniform material options are terrible quality, don’t throw it out, just make it better!
