More than one thousand models of uniforms and outfit of reestablished Latvian National Armed forces are accepted by orders of Ministry of Defense. The most part of clothing and outfit are purchased unitary, but separate items are made for every concrete soldier. Although the uniforms are regulated, periodically their styles and technical solutions have to be rewritten. Improvement proposals are developed in accordance with users’ reclamations and service reports.

Serious changes have to be based on the research of use conditions, studies of analogical solutions and summarization of experimental use results. Besides, the visual differences of individually made uniforms have to be prevented to get similar look of various soldiers in a line
