Lee Ragan Posted June 19, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 19, 2008 Note the two lines of white piping on the bib and the cuffs instead of the usual three lines like the Navy. I learn something here everyday! Thanks for showing this neat jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted June 20, 2008 Glad you all enjoyed seeing it. We thought it was pretty unusual also. I suppose it would be pretty difficult to trace the name (if I can figure it out) as apparently they were not military personel. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted January 3, 2023 Share #11 Posted January 3, 2023 As far as name, first letter to me looks like an H. And the surname ends in "NNINGS". Most common there I'd say is Jennings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had this out for a while, but it still is an interesting uniform. Thanks for everyone's comments and interest. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygary Posted February 25, 2023 Share #14 Posted February 25, 2023 Great rare piece! Does anyone have a photo or the actual hat that was worn with this uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
