Although the Air 
Force has not made a decision yet whether to adopt the Heritage Coat, the airmen who sampled it during a wear test gave it high marks. According to feedback from some 350 male and female airmen who wore the coat on a trial basis at various bases and locations nationwide, 92 percent of the participants deemed the coat suitable as a military uniform, 72 percent preferred its overall design to the current service coat, and two-thirds thought the Air Force should adopt it. Three versions were tested: fabric belt and slide buckle, honor guard style belt and buckle, and four-button, no belt. The no-belt style was most popular with about 71 percent preferring it.
