According to this requirement, the General Logistics Department has set up a special group to analyze the history and present situation of our military uniforms, draw lessons from the military uniforms of major countries in the world, develop a series of samples of our military dresses, uniforms and training uniforms, and put forward the idea of military uniform reform. 1In August, 987, a new series of military uniforms of our army was finalized and put into production, and it was named "87 Series Military Uniforms" of China People's Liberation Army. 1988 10, the whole army was issued with "August 7th" military uniforms.
The style of "87 series uniforms" is called "beautiful and generous, majestic and solemn". The biggest difference between the new uniforms of the "August 7th" series and the previous uniforms is that there are three types: military uniforms, uniforms and combat uniforms.
Officers' dresses in the "August 7th" series of military uniforms are made of wool in winter and summer, with exquisite materials and styles. Summer clothes have a suit with two rows of buttons on top and a tie, and suit pants on the bottom. Different types of army, navy and air force have different clothing colors. The army is beige, the navy is white and the air force is sky blue. For the first time, gold decorative patterns appeared on the brim of the big-brimmed hats of generals and school officials. Winter clothes are double-breasted six-button suit tops.
One of the characteristics of this new national costume is that the neckline of the PLA military uniform, which has been closed for decades, is opened, and most of the dresses, uniforms and combat uniforms are changed from stand-up collars to lapels, so soldiers no longer have to stare at the disciplinary buckle all the time.
The "August 7th" military uniform takes combat uniforms as an important series of military uniforms, which is unprecedented. Before that, most soldiers didn't have special combat uniforms. The "August 7th" military uniform has added conventional training clothes and camouflage training clothes. Camouflage training clothes are divided into winter and summer camouflage patterns according to different seasons and changes in the earth background.
The new military uniform does not use metal stars to represent ranks, the soft epaulettes of officers use stars embroidered by electronic embroidery machines to represent ranks, and soldiers and non-commissioned officers use belts woven with rayon. This kind of epaulettes is easy to wear, easy to disassemble and wash, with clear signs, which does not hinder activities and is conducive to concealment. The new military uniform adopts some new materials, which reduces the weight of the clothing and improves its comprehensive protective performance against cold, wind and rain and anti-reconnaissance.
