The Coast Guard Auxiliary Women’s Service Dress Blue Coat is worn with the uniform of the same name as well as the Dinner Dress Blue Uniform (which requires a white shirt, black necktab, mini-medals and devices, and no nametag).
It is a semi-fitted, single-breasted coat with notched lapels, side body panels, and two-piece back construction. Three silver U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary buttons attached to the left front panel are used for closure, while the four pockets are secured with smaller USCGA buttons. Like all our dress coats and jackets, the Women’s SDB Coat is manufactured with Mil-Spec certified fabric and Made-in-USA components to meet or exceed all USCGA standards and specifications.
Note: We manufacture and ship our dress coats and jackets with unfinished sleeves that are longer than most customers would ever need. This is to accommodate various arm lengths and to reduce total alteration costs since placement of sleeve stripes or devices is based upon distance from the sleeve end, allowing you to hem the sleeve to its regulation length for your arm length before sewing on sleeve ornamentation. It also ensures you have ample material with which to work during the alteration process.
We do offer a variety of sleeve alteration services that will be suggested to you when add the coat to your shopping cart should you wish to receive your coat ready to wear.
