DPDU jacket : Captain P D Jones, RAN Task Force Commander
Four pocket long sleeved shirt in Mk II (grey-toned) Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform (DPDU) with khaki plastic buttons. The sleeves are reinforced between elbow and wrist with a second layer of fabric, and are adjustable at the cuff by a fabric tab and three buttons. The shirt has a five button closure, all but the topmost button being concealed. The four expanding pockets are each closed by two buttons concealed under flaps. The upper (breast) pockets are angled downwards from the shoulder. Above the right hand breast pocket is a sewn-on khaki name tape, machine embroidered in brown cotton with the word 'JONES'. A similar, but smaller, tape above the left hand pocket bears the word 'NAVY'. The shoulder straps are secured near the collar by a single button, and have machine embroidered slides upon them showing the rank rings of a Captain and the word 'AUSTRALIA' in black cotton.
