Note: We are currently out of stock of the Enlisted Dress Blue Jumper and blue Broadfall Trousers that were discontinued with the introduction of gender-neutral versions of both garments in 2016. Additionally, supply-chain issues caused in part by the COVID-19 outbreak have made it impossible to determine when we can begin manufacturing and selling the current versions of these garments. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Worn by both male and female Sailors in the rates E-1 to E-6, the Enlisted Service Dress Blue Uniform has undergone remarkably few changes since its introduction in 1864, making it one of the most easily recognizable military uniforms of all time. Nicknamed the “Crackerjack” because of the iconic snack food packaging featuring a sailor (“Jack”) and his dog (“Bingo”), the Enlisted Dress Blue Uniform was most recently modified in 2015 to make it a unisex uniform; the primary changes include the addition of a side zipper to the Jumper and a hidden front zipper to the Trousers. These changes were also made to the Enlisted Service Dress White uniform, which was also modified with the addition of Navy blue piping and stars to the jumper flap, blue piping on the cuffs, and Navy blue button fasteners.
The Enlisted Service Dress Blue Uniform may be prescribed for wear year-round to all official functions when Dinner Dress or Full Dress Uniforms are not prescribed and civilian equivalent dress is coat and tie. This same uniform becomes the Enlisted Full Dress Blue Uniform by replacing the ribbons worn on the left breast with their corresponding medals. Full Dress Blue Uniforms are worn for several formal occasions, including participation in a Change of Command ceremony, official visits with honors (per Navy Regulations), visits of ceremony to Foreign Men-of-War and Foreign Officials, and occasions of State, Ceremonies, and Solemnities.
