My assumption is this has to do with various issues one of which is locality issues but nether the less it seems to happen regardless when you go to take clothing from the ground while already wearing a uniform. This happens the most while being a civilian unit but from time to time have seen it also happen with vests and backpacks (backpacks are very rare).
