Step 20

– For 

exterior hook and
dee systems
(please see 20A if
your hooks and
dees are covered
by the storm
shield). Attach the coat’s hook and dees and 
connect the reverse hook to the bent dee.

Step 20A

– The

concept is the
same for garments
with internal hooks
and dees (covered
by the storm shield
when closed) but
looks a little 
different. Attach the coat’s hook and dees and 
connect the reverse hook to the bent dee.

Step 21

 

– Don the coat and make any comfort ad-

justments to settle the DRD into place.

After you have installed the positive closure articulat-
ing metro DRD, you should don the coat and make

 

any comfort adjustments to settle the DRD into

 

place. You will note while donning and securing the

 

front coat closure that the reverse hook and bent dee

 

of the positive closure DRD must be connected, 
securely snapped together and in the center chest

 

area in order to complete the DRD encirclement of

 

the chest and affect positive closure. Doffing only 
requires unsnapping of this reverse hook from the

 

bent dee.
