Thanks mikie, I appreciate it!   Joe

Thanks for your comment!  I don't have any figures that are suitable, nor have I've found any unfortunately.   Joe

Some US Navy and Marine officers purchased tan or khaki shirts that had epaulettes.  Some tailor shops made them this way.  However, in my research the vast majority of US Navy officers wearing working khakis either on or off ship did NOT have epaulettes.  The miniature rank insignia was worn on their collars.

Please remember that Navy officer's uniforms had a lot of variation in style and fabrics.  Navy officers were required to purchase their uniforms just like all the other services.  That's not to say that they didn't draw from enlisted supplies when PXs or tailor shops were not available.  Our US Army enlisted Khaki cotton convertible collar shirts and trousers are nearly identical to the US Navy officer's working khakis and we have many customers who use them for this purpose.  The garrison caps worn by US Navy officer's, aside from their frame covers, are same as the enlisted garrison caps but without any branch piping.  Navy Officer's rank insignia is affixed to the shirt collars and caps.

Alright, thank you

I believe officers Khakis usually would have had epaulettes, I'm sure regular enlisted ones like the one in the link would have also been worn.

I'm not really a expert in the field of the day uniforms

Those look quite nice, could they have been issued to navy officers as well?

Those are nice looking examples. I especially like the stubby wing variant. Cheers
