I am looking for the regulation that covers the wear of working gloves with the new and old ACUs.

I actually think this is a great question! I would much rather see a proactive Soldier asking a question like this rather than having to stop ten times on the way into the PX to fix stupid! SFC Brian Johnston is correct. I would also look at you installation homepage to see if there is a supplemental policy guidance.
IE. Fort Leonard Wood has Command Policy 18. It identifies that the "fleece cap" is designated as the primary headgear throughout FLW from the end of daylight saving to the beginning of daylight saving time. (with extended wear date set as 31 MAR) The caveat to this is that in order to wear the "fleece cap" It must be worn with cold weather gear (for example, fleece/field/or gortex jacket AND GLOVES). It goes further to say that the "fleece cap" will not be worn off the installation.
Ask your leadership about what the SOP or local policy is.

Talk about major help with details. This was an phenomenal post. I was curious if you could only wear your black gloves with your fleece jacket. Then again, it is also up to the commanders discretion. Thanks for your post.

We are PFC's. Ask your squad leader, do what he says. :)

If you still need the section, I found this for you:

AR-670-1 Section 27.12 Page 162:
a. Gloves, black, with inserts, unisex, leather shell.

(1) Type. The gloves are clothing bag issue items.

(2) Description. The gloves are a five-finger design in a slip-on style. An adjustable strap and buckle is provided on

the back of the gloves. The inserts are black wool and are worn inside the black leather shell gloves. There is no wear- out date for the green wool inserts, which may be worn until stocks are exhausted or until unserviceable.

(3) How worn. These gloves are authorized for wear with or without cold-weather outer garments (to include the DBDU parka). Soldiers may wear the black leather shell gloves with utility uniforms without cold-weather outer garments, provided sleeves are rolled down. Personnel may not wear the inserts without the leather shell gloves when worn with utility uniforms and cold weather outer garments.

b. Gloves, black, leather, unisex, dress.

(1) Type. The gloves are clothing bag issue items.

(2) Description. The gloves are black leather in an approved specification or pattern, or of a similar commercial

design.

(3) How worn. The gloves are authorized for wear with the class A service, Army green dress, and Army green

maternity dress uniforms, and when wearing the black all-weather coat, windbreaker, or capes.

c. Gloves, white dress.

(1) Type. The gloves are optional purchase items.

(2) Description. The gloves are made of cotton, kid, doeskin, silk, or other material of appropriate commercial

design.

(3) How worn. The gloves are authorized for year-round wear with the Army blue and white dress uniforms, and the

Army blue, white, and black mess and evening mess uniforms. When prescribed by the commander, military police may wear white gloves with service uniforms.

CPL (Join to see) So I guess if a Soldier, junior to me, ask me a general question I shouldn't answer but send him/her to someone within his/her chain of command? Don't think so!
