Tips for ODUs on USCG

website (2)

• Once logged in, you will see this page.

• Click on the “NOAA Corps and PHS Uniform link”

• You will find the untucked coat, trousers, covers and t-shirts here

Tips for ordering ODUs on USCG website (3)

• There is only one sizing chart for each item (no separate fit for men and women).

• Disregard the descriptions (as you see below they are mixed NOAA/PHS ODU, NOAA/PHS UNT, and NOAA UNT) and just choose your correct size.

• Sizing is the number followed by regular, short, etc.

As long as you are looking under the NOAA PHS uniform tab, then any of those items are authorized wear for PHS. The USCG is aware of the inconsistency in the

item descriptors but cannot change them.

Tying/tucking laces, using blousing bands, and properly blousing boots. Because the end of the trousers must be long enough to tuck up and under the blousing straps, leave extra length if you have them tailored so that there is enough material to roll

under the blousing band.

Two covers are available: Command ballcap (Required) and 8 point (Prescribable) Note: The command ballcap has the embroidered rank insignia

The 8 point cover uses the large bright pin-on rank insignia

Sizing tips for the covers: the ballcap fits the same as your garrison gap while the 8pt cover runs small so order ¼ size larger

than your garrison gap to ensure a comfortable fit.

Outerwear Ordering Tips • USCG site has both the Foul Weather Parka II and the ODU utility jacket which also

functions as a liner for the parka.

• Because the utility jacket zips into the parka, you must order the same size for both items even though the liner can be worn on its own.

• Even though the utility jacket is made with polartec fleece, it should not be confused with the optional item “Liner, polar fleece, blue” that you can only buy from Propper since the USCG no longer authorizes its wear. Propper lists this items as the Foul Weather Parka II liner.

• The USCG coats have a vertical slide on rank that you have to purchase separately while the Propper coat has no rank identification. It looks like a plain fleece jacket.

• Propper also sells the Foul Weather II Parka but they charge $309.99 for same item that will cost you $204.15 on the USCG website.

• You can buy the PHS navy blue t-shirts on either the USCG or NEX websites. The previously authorized black PHS T-shirts are no longer authorized.

• If you don’t see your size listed for an item then it may be because it is on backorder.
