This winter uniform may be worn for general office wear, visits to
Coast Guard units, and appropriate assignment to duty. It is the basic
cold climate, non-operational uniform and may be worn in lieu of the
Service Dress Blue uniform except for occasions where the civilian
equivalent is coat and tie. It is an option available only from November
1 through March 31. Unlike the other dress shirts which are shared with the Air Force, the Winter Dress Blue shirt is for the Coast Guard only, which can make it difficult to find sometimes.
Approved outwear when wearing Winter Dress Blue includes the Windbreaker, Trench Coat, Foul Weather Parka, Cardigan Sweater, or the Wooly-Pully Sweater.
