Shopping

Is water resistant the same as waterproof?

Water resistant means that an item can withstand rain, snow and wet weather. Do not submerge this type of gear in water, unless you want to ruin it. Water-resistant fabrics keep water from being absorbed—water will just bead off the fabric. On the other hand, if you're more of a water-bound operator, stock up on waterproof gear. It's specifically designed to be completely submerged in water and still provide top-notch performance.

What is the difference between poly-cotton and nylon-cotton fabrics?

Poly-cotton fabric is a synthetic fabric blend that combines the advantages of cotton and polyester—it's breathable, comfortable and tear-resistant. Poly-cotton will run you a lot less than 100 percent cotton; however, it is not as breathable as 100 percent cotton. This would not be the ideal fabric to wear in hot weather. Nylon-cotton fabric is a blend of nylon and cotton. Some call it NYCO. The nylon adds strength and abrasion resistance, and the cotton provides breathability and moisture absorption. This fabric is often used for military uniforms and high-performance sportswear. Unlike the poly-cotton blend, NYCO does not melt if it catches on fire.

How can I match uniform coats, shirts and pants?

The best way to ensure an exact match is to purchase each item in the same color, fabric and brand.

What is Berry compliance?

Berry compliance is a term that is derived from the Berry Amendment. The Berry Amendment requires the U.S. Department of the Defense to give procurement preference to USA-made goods.

This information will be noted on the product detail page.

What is GSA compliance?

GSA compliance is a result of the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). Products listed as GSA compliant mean those items have been manufactured or "substantially transformed" within a designated country.
