Which direction does the belt tab on the male Class A uniform extend to?

• A. The wearer's right
• B. The wearer's left
• C. Upward toward the shoulder seam
• D. Downward toward the hem

Answer: (B)

In the male Class A uniform, the belt tab is oriented toward the wearer's left. This placement keeps the belt end finished neatly on the left side, maintaining a clean, symmetrical front with the buckle centered. It also aligns with how the belt is designed to sit at the waist, avoiding interference with the right-side insignia and creating a consistent, professional look.

Putting the tab upward toward the shoulder seam or downward toward the hem would distort the belt’s line and disrupt the uniform’s clean front. Extending it to the right would place the tab on the opposite side of where the standard dictates, breaking the expected appearance.
