McDermut99 Posted January 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 15, 2017 Nice save! Those uniforms are in excellent condition. Looks to be a interesting research project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reforger Posted January 16, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 16, 2017 Awesome save. Interesting how some people obviously don't even try to sell things before tossing them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratlanta Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted January 17, 2017 Based on where I found these uniforms, I think it belonged to Donald Homer Thompson (Tommy) (1934-2005), Capt. USNR , a former Naval aviator who retired mechanical engineer. He was navy ensign we he got married in 1956. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAlvarado90 Posted January 29, 2017 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2017 Nice save! Cant believe someone would throw those away. Just curious, I've never seen a Navy uniform in a greenish color, any particular reason before it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLeo Posted January 29, 2017 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2017 Nice save! Cant believe someone would throw those away. Just curious, I've never seen a Navy uniform in a greenish color, any particular reason before it? They are Naval Aviator service greens. Sometimes called "working greens" worn as a everyday uniform for aviators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
