Navy work shirt and dungarees
| Description: |
This 1950s Navy uniform includes a hat, shirt, jeans and belt. It was for everyday wear instead of formal events requiring a dress uniform. The United States Navy first allowed seamen to wear denim trousers in 1901. From white sailor suits to jeans, civilians often adopted elements from military uniforms for casual wear. |
