I don't know if anyone is interested in this, the Navy has updated the enlisted dress whites and I think they look very nice, even the ladies are wearing them.

Oh so true..........in time I will like them also (hard to break tradition).
I DO think they add a little more class.
Ahhhhhhhh, to be back at SEA!
Mine were blues, whites, and dungarees (wool for the blues, and cotton for the dungarees and whites not this polyester crap they have these days), but most of my time after boot camp and schools was spent in a flight suit. My grandson is career Navy and says all the uniform changes are getting pretty expensive to deal with. His dad and I got to do a tiger cruise with him on the Nimitz and it seems four different uniforms were being worn, including coveralls which I thought were reserved for submariners. Still don't understand why the Navy needs camouflage uniforms.
Being and old sailor myself. Do you remember what the two stars stand for, without googling it? What was the flap collar used for?

At least they don't need to wear them crazy white shoes the officers and chiefs need to wear.
Finally, zippers on "Crackerjacks". For those days/nights in port of calls around the world where the liberty dress code is "Uniform of the Day", and after visiting and sampling wares of the various local adult beverage dispensaries...
In all seriousness, they do look sharp & should be an improvement over the standard fare...
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???
If nothing else , a zipper fly instead of buttons is a big improvement .

All of my dress blues were 13 button. They didn't have any in my size with zippers at issue. Everyone else only got one pair of the 13 buttons.
