Fashions for Men
Recently Army officers were sent questionnaires by the War Department to determine their preference in uniforms. Would they like roll collars instead of the present standing collars? Would they like the reestablishment of dress uniforms in addition to the khaki and olive drab field uniforms which alone are authorized now?
The returns from the questionnaire were not given out, but the War Department declared that there was no " overwhelming sentiment" for a change and none would be made. As a concession to those desiring full dress uniforms, however, at all garrisons, posts and camps, officers will be permitted to wear dinner jackets or civilian full dress at social functions.
