Gary Matlock with Hispanic and Native American seasonal guides at Pecos National Monument [now Pecos National Historical Park], 1971. The guides found the blouses and skirts of the 1962 uniform to be totally unsuitable for their duties, especially that of climbing in and out of the Kivas. Since the new 1970 uniforms featuring the pants were not yet available to the Park, Superintendent Thomas F. Giles authorized them to purchase these sand colored pants suits from the J.C. Penny Department Store in Santa Fe, to which they applied the Arrowhead patch and their name tag. These were worn until the new uniforms became available the following year.
