What is AS-IS?
AS-IS means the item may have a small stain or other minor defects. We make sure we don’t send you anything awkward. AS-IS is marked down for pricing and great for theater productions, costumes or someone who doesn’t have to get into rank and file to be looked up and down by the “Brigadier Chief.”
Uniform History:
The enlisted utilities uniform was worn by junior enlisted sailors, from paygrades E-1 to E-6, from the 1990s until 2010, when they were phased out in favor of the NWU. Utilities were worn in a working environment and were authorized to be worn outside military installations, unlike coveralls.
Utilities consisted of dark blue chino cloth trousers with a poly–cotton blend shirt, and were considered an updated version of the dungarees uniform of which they shared a similar aesthetic. Sailors wore the command ball cap with this uniform, although a black watch cap was allowed in cold weather; the white “dixie cup” hat was worn for special ceremonies. Footwear worn were full black, round-toed boots (referred to as boondockers), preferably with steel toes. The blue utility jacket was authorized in climates not cold enough as to warrant wearing the black All-Weather Coat.
