An elegant piece of traditional naval attire. Worn by American officer's for eveningwear when attending dinners and galas, the design of the jacket takes inspiration from decades of seafaring style, not just from the US but from across the globe, with its funnel collar and straightforward design. You'll find 2 chest pockets, although these are seldom used. Rank boards can be attached to the shoulders if you're after the authentic look. Being from the 1970's, the jacket utilises "modern" materials like polyester and rayon for its construct, a nice nod to a bygone era.
