FM 10-16 1-1 CHAPTER 1 INSPECTING AND MARKING CLOTHING AND TEXTILE ITEMS 1-1. INITIAL INSPECTIONS When damaged clothing and textile items are received in a fabric repair shop, they are inspected. These inspections determine if the pieces of clothing and equipment can be economically repaired in the shop and then reissued. The individual items are classified by condition. Faded clothing, noticeably stained items, and defective items which cannot be repaired or are not worth repairing are set aside. These items are used for scrap or for duties that damage clothing, such as painting. Items to be mended are marked with white or yellow tailors clay chalk. See Figure 1-1 for the symbol and meaning of each mark used during the inspection of clothing and textile items. Table 1-1 lists the areas marked by the initial inspector. Figure 1-1. Chalk marks used on clothing and textile Items.
