In the 1930s,'40s.and '50s, Lvi Straus, dark blue pants, were called dungarees. That Old Navy is now selling pale blue shirts and calling that a dungaree, is silly. LOL
Who is 'Old Navy'? I am talking about the US Navy:
In fact, I still have one of my old dungaree shirts from the 60's, it is so well built.
Continued from my previous post:
"Until 1949, petty officer rating badges were worn on the right OR left sleeve, depending on whether the person concerned was on the starboard (right) or port (left) watch. But since February 1948, ALL distinguishing petty officer marks have been worn on the right sleeve (left-facing) between the shoulder and elbow.
Nowadays, modern-era Chief Petty Officers and above (E7 to E9) do not wear any iron-on crows on their sleeve Only during the pre- and post-WWII era did CPOs wear enlisted dungarees and had their "rocker crow" stenciled on their dungaree shirts; particularly if they worked in industrial areas or topside as boatswains, machinists, electricians, boilermen or gunners. Khaki uniforms were introduced for CPOs in 1941, along with collar devices; by the 1950s, khakis eliminated the need for CPO dungarees and so were phased-out.
Finally, rate (job specialty) markings were never authorized as part of ANY iron-on dungaree badge. ONLY the petty officer eagle and chevron(s) are authorized. The job rate markings (Gunner's Mate, etc.) are only worn with chevrons on dress, working (non-industrial area) and summer uniforms. Dungarees are considered "industrial-area" uniforms. "
