New Product Being Added Today To The NRM Uniform Program
I'm pleased to announce another new product is being added the Natural Resources Management (NRM) uniform program. Beginning today, 10 August, the "New Dimension" duty shirt will be available for ordering. The new shirt, which is being offered in addition to the existing duty shirt, has the following features: Grey, 4.25 oz., 65% polyester/35% cotton, mechanical stretch, soil release and moisture management, long and short sleeve. Gusset fabric: 4.2 oz., 100% polyester flat back mesh with wicking finish. Male/Female short sleeve (CO89, CO90): $28.50; Male/Female long sleeve (CO91, CO92): $32.00. Please note that some sizes may not be immediately available due to delays caused by COVID-19 pandemic.

We did not anticipate this shirt being available this year and we know that many of you have already expended your FY20 uniform funds - but we wanted to make the shirt available as soon as we were notified by our VF Imagewear Program Manager who was able to deliver the product ahead of schedule.

As VF says: "The New Dimension Dress Shirt is infused with features to make your day more comfortable by keeping you cooler and more mobile. The shirt includes an action back as well as stretch side gusset panels for maximum mobility and breathability. These attributes allow you to stay at your peak performance throughout the day while maintaining a professional appearance."

Please note that the New Dimension shirt is authorized for daily duty wear (not formal wear) and that management always retains the authority to dictate more stringent wear requirement as applicable to local conditions. The existing duty shirt is being retained for Class B formal wear, and for daily wear when stipulated by local management. We understand those who require non-standard sizes or made-to-measure shirts will not be able to order the New Dimension shirt this year since the deadline for special order items has expired.

This is a proven popular shirt - we hope you find it comfortable and functional in performing your duties.

Thank you for your patience this year as VF shipping times, and new product introductions, continue to be impacted on many items due to COVID-19 manufacturing issues.
