U.S. NAVY OFFICER'S BLUE SERVICE COAT
The U.S. NAVY OFFICER'S BLUE SERVICE COAT is made from a smooth wool gabardine exterior and a rayon sateen lining. Its tailored structure is reinforced with pure haircloth canvas, a traditional tailoring material woven from horsehair and cotton, used to reinforce jacket structure. Authentic U.S.N. Eagle & Anchor gold buttons and cotton thread construction complete the piece.
Originally introduced in the spring of 1919, the modern suit-style coat faced resistance from traditionalists who preferred the stiff, high-collared jackets worn for four decades prior. The Blue Service Coat, worn by officers and senior warrant officers, became a standard part of naval dress under 1941 regulations, which required officers to purchase two. Unlike standard-issue military garments, these coats were privately tailored and sold, lacking the typical contract labels. Each featured service ribbons above the chest pocket and gold sleeve stripes to indicate rank.
