Jason The aprons were made by wives or girlfriends as a project. Since most lived in the tsame port city, they would band together (much like today) for support while the ships were gone. These were the sorts of things they would do when they got together. Generally, the apron was a neckerchief, and the "ties" were a captally. Often the crows were used as pockets and other insignial was added at the makers discretion. Generally, the added extra insignia was something that the Sailor rated, but not always, sometimes, if the maker saw something she liked, she would put it on, after all, it was for her to wear anyway. Many of these have lots of intricate embroidery around the deges and on the apron. You see these things going back to atleast WW1. Of course, you see the ships name cap tallies die out after 1940, although that tally was used commonly from 1883 to 1963, There was at one time a bar in Norfolk VA. where all the waitress' wore these. Eventually, these fall out of favor. They were at first replaces with vests in the 1950s. They had most of the features of these aprons, nautical/Navy embroidery, rating badges and such. While some were black, you see many red. That seemed to be the new color. I think that these stopped being made mostly becaust the wives stopped being stay at home types. I know that was the case with my Mom (Navy Wife 1950-1967). She started one of the vests, but never finished it as she had a job, and never was that active in the wives club.
