Wow, the memories. I enlisted in January 1973. I was issued both the old style dungarees and he "New Utilities". I got the older jacket (with the button flap over the zipper. I never met any one who liked these Utilities. Most people I knew only wore them for dirty work, such as painting or cleaning bilges. Many new recruits tossed them as soon as they got to their first ship, replacing them with the commercially available "Sea Farer" dungarees.
