There's been a lot of confusion surrounding WW2 US NAVY dungarees, so i've decided,for info,to showcase 3 of the most commonly seen models of USN regulation denim pants, manufactured or issued by the Navy .Only pre and ww2 pants will be featured on today's post. In 1946 "seafarer" trademark of Polkton Mfg. co, dba Seagoing Uniform of Marshville,NC,took over the contract and messed up with the cut and fabric and ,in my opinion,ruined the look and feel of what was a great pair of pants.....
