3、e 1. The weave shall be confirmed with one determination per sample unit and the results shall be reported as llpassii or llfailil. The minimum yarn for both the warp and filling shall consist of blended, combed, and spun polyester and wool fibers with a minimum average fiber length of 3 inches. The
4、 wool stock shall be fleece or pulled wool or both, not lower in grade than 64,s U.S. Standard. The use of noils, laps or any other wool manufacturing by-products is prohibited.

The finished cloth shall show colorfastness to light (40 SFH), wet-dry cleaning and dry cleaning, perspiration, and croc
11、king equal to or better than the standard sample. As a limit of acceptability or when no standard sample is available, the finished cloth shall meet the following requirements when tested in accordance with the following test methods: - A minimum rating of t14t1 (llGoodll) fastness to light (40 SFH)
12、 when tested according to AATCC 16 Option A. - A minimum rating of 1i4ti (ltGoodfl) fastness to wet-dry cleaning when tested according to FED-STD-191, TM 5622 and dry cleaning when tested according to FED-STD-191, TM 5621. - A minimum rating of 1t411 (ltGoodll) fastness to perspiration when tested a
13、ccording to AATCC-15. The test for colorfastness for acid and alkaline solution shall apply. - For crocking, color transfer equivalent to Row 4 on the AATCC Chromatic Transference Scale or Step 4 on the Gray Scale for Staining when tested according to AATCC-8. The selvage yarns may be made of a fine
14、r count yarn with the same fiber content as that of the body of the cloth to prevent the edges of the cloth from building up when rolled. The color shall be Blue 3362 and shall match the standard sample, piece number 88252. The color shall be obtained by stock dyeing. As an alternate, piece dyeing m
