Leatherneck on Blues

[KevinFumbles]

On my blues coat, the leatherneck sometimes comes unclasped. Is there anything to shape it into more of a circle so the clasp is tighter? Also on a more unrelated note, are there any other tricks you have found out in your time in? Uniforms or other. I just graduated bootcamp, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Semper Fi!

You may need to move the clasp or see a tailor.....or grow a bigger neck..........

Here is a thread for some squared away uniform tricks that maybe helpful

Even if you have to wait till you hit the fleet, take your blouse to a tailor shop on base (or an experienced/reputable one off base). They'll be able to fix it. Don't let a civilian tailor at home touch it.

Your NCO's will teach you uniform tips-n-tricks. That's their job. Your job is to learn.

Good luck.
