In particular, Guardians have liked how the new uniforms allow for more movement than the traditional service dress uniforms, Lovelady said. ”Īll the while, Lovelady said, the Space Force has continued to receive positive feedback on the design of the uniforms, which incorporates symbols such as the USSF delta logo, a standing collar on the dark blue-nearly black-jacket, and a row of six offset buttons representing the six U.S. … And then, once we complete that, we’ll move to wear testing, which we hope to be in the spring. Tentatively, however, the Space Force is now planning on fit testing taking place “somewhere between November and January. Tracy Roan, head of the Uniform Office, previously noted that her team wasn’t even slated to receive fabric for test assets until “late summer.”
The timeline on fit and wear testing is still a little unsettled due to supply chain issues that have plagued the process- and other military branches-for months now. “And they might have to do some pattern adjustments to it after that.”Īfter that comes “wear testing,” which involves making “another set of 100 uniforms that will actually be worn by Guardians for at least three times a week for three months, to see what did they feel like, what did they like, not like, and if any kind of changes need to be made from there,” Lovelady said.įrom there, the Air Force Uniform Office will confirm the details and “specs” of the design before sending them to the Defense Logistics Agency, which will put the uniform into production. And we’ll have people come in and try them on and see how are they fitting,” Lovelady said. “So that is next where they roll out … about 30 different sizes for males and females.

Since the uniforms first debuted at AFA’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference in 2021, the Space Force has taken them on roadshows and tweaked some elements of the design, particularly the collar and the pants.
In the next several months, the service and the Air Force Uniform Office plan to expand those numbers-and draw ever closer to getting the new duds out to every Guardian, leaders said during the Life Cycle Industry Days conference. “Jay” Raymond, and one for Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force Roger A.
