These images hardly look dated at all.

How do/did they know when to change from a winter uniform to a whatever uniform? is it by a certain date? or just certain temperatures?

These are just wonderful.

NiMA- If I recall correctly, the Base Commander (Station Commander, Ship's Captain or equivelent) would make this call. Local climate is usually a prime consideration when prescribing winter or summer uniforms. I can't recall for sure if CMC would set an ultimate date for the seasonal changeover.

The trouser crease on the left leg seems unusually conspicuous in this photo. It does not appear to be doubled, but looks to be much wider than what I am accustomed to seeing on a USMC uniform. It could be just the lighting. And regarding the neck tie, although the cleft near the top, just under the knot, may give a stylish appearance, in the strictest sense, it was not prescribed during the time of my service, 1986 - 1990.

I work at the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia and we buy food, clothing and medical supplies for the armed services. This crushes the current Marine Corps summer uniform like a grape. Mad style.

Why is his cover black?

I just talked to my grandfather who served in WWII he said that at that time the cover could have been blue or white.

The quality on these photos is simply amazing.

Take this one for example. Apart from the slight changes in uniform style in the last 60 years, this could have been taken yesterday.

That uniform looks like it is straight off the hanger at the store and he has a lot of hair for a Jarhead.
