- This black & white U.S. Navy film is about the Navy uniform and its evolution over the decades. Made in the post-WWII era, the film features a segment on the "new" Navy uniform designs. Because it shows mostly historical events, much of the film consists of paintings, drawings and artist renderings, followed by photographs and finally, in the 20th Century segment, film footage. Copyright 1958. Directed by George C. Stoney, edited by Sylvia Cummins Betts, narrated by Del Sharbutt, A Potomac Production.

As a spanking new Hospital Corpsman, I asked my Chief if there was an easier way to unbutton the 13 buttons. His response, “Make Chief”.
After my cracker jacks visited a tailor in the PI, they were the most versatile, user friendly and sharp uniform one could wear. Liberty cuffs, Dragon embroidery and velcro, also had numerous pockets added. Far East Navy was a world unto it's own. Old school baby.
In the 80's my 13 button pants sported hidden strips of Velcro which was a fairly new thing in clothing. The buttons were merely sewed onto the top panel and hitting the head in a hurry was never again a problem. :-)
When I was in the Navy, the smart sailor would go to a local tailor, which is exactly what most of us did. He would have two uniforms tailor made, Whites and Blues just for Liberty, with hidden zippers in the sides. When you have been out carousing the bars and you really got to go, those thirteen buttons were a pain. You couldn't stand inspection in them as they weren't NavSpec but you could get off the ship for Liberty call in them. Everyone knew the drill and the guys on the Quarterdeck wouldn't give you any grief.
After we got ashore, we just did not do all the buttons
My dad called them "gaberdeens" although I'm not sure of the spelling, and often had special non-reg embroidery work on them. (this was WW2 era)
@@stephenbritton9297 yeah I think that was the material that we was used on mine.
@@hopatease1 did that once got wrote up by the SP. They could be real dicks if you weren't squared away
@@stephenbritton9297 Liberty Cuffs was the WWII embroidery. Done on inside of the cuffs so when rolled down it looked 'regulation, folded up once, looked fancy on liberty. Google the name, lots of photos online, pretty collectible. Rarely embroidery was done on inside of collar, or "tar flap", but you couldn't roll that up and show it off, so....Gaberdine is the spelling. That and with a wool blend used in dress uniforms.
Summer '81, bootcamp, we were taught to tie off bell bottom dungarees and fling then over one's head while in the pool. Place one leg under each armpit and float. Bell bottoms made it much faster to tie off than conventional trousers.
hasn't changed, 2000s guy here - returned to bootcamp 12 years later, still the same training.
@@briguy459 My point was that it is much quicker to tie off bell bottoms vs straight leg. Precious seconds may save one's life. Bell bottoms were more than a naval fashion statement.
You're kidding, right? But..that's impossible!!!
@@ralphm.chavez5016 dunno if your being facetious, but somewhere around 30-50k learn this technique annually.
@@briguy459 I shall fly to your home town and meet you at a swimming pool. This old 59 year old bets YOU a hundred dollars that I can tie off bell bottoms within a pool faster than you can with straight legs. Care to meet???
My first crackerjacks, issued in 1971, were the old denim whites and wool blues. But they were gone by 1974 when I spent my year at NAS Memphis. Memphis? Why would there be a Navy base in Tennessee?? Well, probably because of a couple of Senators. one of them the being William Borah, the Lion of Idaho, which is why Idaho still has a Naval Base of its own. I don't remember the name of the one from Tennessee, but I do remember his reply to FDR when asked for his cooperation and secrecy in setting up the Manhattan Project: "Where in Tennessee shall we build this?"
Some of the really old salts used to have reversible crackerjacks. Turned inside out, they didn't exactly count as uniforms. In the long run, they were more practical than joining a locker club in every port. I guess Shore Patrol didn't *always* gig sailors wearing these reversed uniforms, often festooned with dragons and the like.
BTW, the old crackerjacks didn't have any pockets. You usually kept your money and what-have-you stuffed in your socks---or perhaps you sewed a pocket into your undershorts like me to hold your real stash.
When I joined I wsa issued a suit with a marine type dress hat, hated it, a couple years later the Navy approved the cracker jacks again and I bought a set as soon as I could find it, was lucky to get a real silk scarf from WW2 from an old locker store in San Diego
I wish you would have told us where the "dixie cup" hats came from. The only thing I learned from this video was that bell-bottom pants were easier to roll up for work. I do know that the 13 buttons on the fly symbolized the original 13 colonies.
Don’t forget the ladies really like the uniform!
@@asdf9890 XD These 1940s to 1960s videos made a LOT of generous assumptions about what (paid actor) women liked in the time. At least this one doesn't have the boy friend treating the adult lady like a kid who belongs on a leash though and being praised for it. Goodness some of those videos make you wonder what kind of people we're defending our country from if our own guys act like that.
Dropping the dungarees for digital-camo-blue was the dumbest damn thing ever. Who the hell are you hiding from on-board, or worse, over-board. - - CTR1(SW) 82-93
I like when back in the day when sailors used to wear dress uniforms for work reminds me the value of hard work while the dress uniform served purpose
I served in the U.S.N. 1964-1968, and I loved and still do love my Navy crackerjacks uniform!
Thanks for your service to our great nation.
In 1963 I got a navy-blue pair of pants for 1 dollar from a guy that was getting out of the NAVY. It had a zipper on it and I wore it with my undress blues on bord the ship .When ever I went ashore I wore 13 button pants .
The first directives for uniforms did not mention foot wear, so a lot of sailors went barefoot.
Being barefoot also made it easier to climb ratlines and walk the yards.
@@thomasdaily4363 I can only imagine the callouses you'd get walking on that salty wood. Thank goodness for em too. I think our feet today would be destroyed to the bone if we walked on decks barefoot. The part of the body we've gotten too soft on for the past century was feet as it took until fairly recently for men to be fitted in military footwear that actually fits the shape of the human foot, not too tight to give the "pointed toe" look. Don't think I don't see those HORRIBLE bunions in half these videos. Bunioning is the reason most soldiers can't walk anymore after hitting the age of 40.
It’s simple, for the Navy it’s Tradition!
and for once, the tradition is stylish AND comfortable (mostly). There's a reason a lot of us office workers today HEAVILY protest being forced to wear suits and ties to work daily. it may look business and snazzy, but it doesn't make us happy to come in when how we look matters more than our work ethic. Yeah there's the discipline side, but most of us know to at least dress for work in a good button shirt and clean trousers. Don't need a sports jacket, and especially not a tie (even though I'm not against wearing them, more so against them being required).
So EPIC thank you for these videos...🔺🔺🔺👽🇺🇲🌠😏🧬✨♾️

هناك تزيف وتضليل في هذا الفيديو و و هي أن هناك قراصنه في حرورب 1812 و لكن كان هناك الحاكم القرمانلي حيث إستطاع أغراق المدمرة ألامريكية و قتل العديد من الجنود و القائد أيضا والسبب الحرب رفض الولايات المتحدة بدفع الضرائب المفروض عليها فقامت بشن الحرب
I tried on a sailor black dress uniform...that 13 button front part on the pants is kind of strange!
It did feel kind of neat wearing...but I don't think being stuck on a ship for months at a time is very appealing to me!
I hear it's gotten far better than it used to be. Back then Naval shipmen seemed to be "disposable" because of the nature of the wars at the time, but now being mostly volunteer they seem to have really made strides to ensure everyone's at least comfortable. Still not perfect (you can only do so much on a war ship realistically), but attempts are being made.

Okee dokey! Whatever you say!
You do prefer freedom vs living in Russia or Red China?
