SKIRTING THE ISSUE
2017
Overview
Military have endured one confusing uniform policy change after another. In 2013, the issue making headlines was hats, called covers in the military. It was decided that the traditional dress uniform covers-previously designed differently for men and women--should be more standard. The newly designed women's cover looked a lot like the men's cover. The upswept sides and curves designed in the mid-20th century were replaced by a standard duck-bill brim airline pilot or police officer hat. Newspaper articles that covered the uniform changes included some very cautious quotes from high-ranking officers, stating explicitly that they were not trying to put women in men's uniforms. They pointed to extensive fit testing and tailoring to make these new uniforms, both hats and choker blouses, fit better than even the old women's uniforms. There was not, however, any discussion of tailoring women's uniforms to fit men.
