A Veteran's Day Fashion Friday

We commemorate Fashion Friday Veteran’s Day with a few plates of U.S. Navy uniforms from WWI and Armistice Day (the original Veteran’s Day) to 1967, the date of the publication of the plates in the portfolio set Uniforms of the United States Navy 1900-1967 published in 1967 by the Naval History Division of the U.S. Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The portfolio consists of 12 large color lithographs created by noted military illustrator H. Charles McBarron, showing the intricate details that went into each iteration of the Navy uniform.

Included with the plates is a detailed text describing each uniform by U.S. Naval historian James C. Tily. Each text breaks down the particularities and differences of the uniforms for different ranks of the time, including Captains, Lieutenants, Midshipmen, and more.

Fashion Friday

This week’s Fashion Friday post focuses on the many uniforms of the U.S. Navy between 1776 and 1898. This collection of prints titled Uniforms of the United States Navy 1776-1898 and published in 1966 by the United States Department of the Navy consists of 12 large color lithographs. Each lithograph, created by noted military illustrator H. Charles McBarron from pre-existing sketches, shows the intricate details that went into each iteration of the Navy uniform. When viewing the uniform designs chronologically there is a clear evolution from one iteration to the next with various aspects of the garb remaining similar but not exactly the same.

Included with the lithographs is a detailed text which describes each uniform. Each text breaks down the particularities and differences of the uniforms for different ranks of the time, including Captains, Lieutenants, Midshipmen, and more. These detailed accompanying texts were written by the United States Department of the Navy under the close supervision of an expert in U.S. Naval history Captain James C. Tily (which is also just a great name for a ship captain).
