The Female Service Dress White Coat is a basic com-ponent of the Service Dress White and Full Dress White Uniform worn by Female Officers and CPOs. Gold buttons are worn on the uniform by both Officers and Chief Petty Officers, with Officers displaying their rank and corps affiliation (Line or Staff Corps) on
hard shoulder boards and Chief Petty Officers wearing
collar grade insignia.
Announced in NAVADMIN 236/15 and given a mandatory possession date of 1 January 2020, this update of the Female Service Dress White Coat for Officers and CPOs bears a strong resemblance to the coat worn by their male counterparts. Some of its features and specifications include:
♦ Standing “Mandarin” collar
♦ 100% Certified Navy Twill fabric
♦ Fully lined construction
♦ Six Navy eagle gilt buttons
♦ Princess seams
Note: Our military dress coats and jackets are manufactured and ship with unfinished sleeves longer than most customers would ever need. This is to accommodate various arm lengths and to minimize total alteration costs, since placement of sleeve stripes or services stripes is predicated on the distance from the sleeve end. 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 prefer to have the coat arrive ready to wear.
