BACKGROUND: While officers and NCO’s wore grey suede or leather gloves with field, service, guard, parade and reporting dress enlisted personnel only wore them on occasions when commanded. However knitted gloves were a basic issue item during the winter for all enlisted personnel. The enlisted personnel’s knitted winter gloves were issued in four sizes of small, medium, large or extra-large and were marked accordingly with one to four green or white rings on the cuffs.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Standard issue, enlisted personnel’s, machine knitted, gloves in a grey wool/rayon blend material. The gloves feature tightly knit, dual-ply, vertical ribbed cuffs, and single ply, looser knit, vertically ribbed hand sections. One side of each cuff has single, interwoven, white size ring indicating size large. Miss-matched but but super condition!
