The Design and Laboratory Evaluation of an Improved Navy Overcoat Fabric
1956
Analysis shows the 30-oz kersey fabric used in the enlisted man's overcoat to be too heavy and warm under still-air conditions, to be inefficient in resisting wind penetra tion under adverse conditions, and to have limited use life because of the rate at which it becomes threadbare. New 22-oz fabrics, in melton and kersey finishes, have been engineered to incorporate improved functional characteristics. On the basis of laboratory evaluation, the 22-oz fabrics show considerable promise for wool conservation while maintaining or improving the desired functional characteristics of the 30-oz kersey.
