Description These authentic reproductions of the World War I U.S. Navy sailor’s jumpers represent the standard issue working and dress blouses worn by enlisted seamen during 1917–1918. Made from heavy cotton drill (white) and dark navy wool serge (blue), both garments feature the traditional pullover style with a deep V-front, square sailor collar, and distinctive cuff and collar tape detailing. The white jumper, shown in the image, was worn during summer or tropical service and formal occasions. Constructed from durable white cotton drill, it includes dark blue tape edging on the collar and cuffs, with double rows of decorative striping typical of U.S. Navy pattern of the Great War period. The blue jumper was the cold-weather or working variant, made from fine dark navy blue wool serge. It retained the same pattern, with white tape edging on collar and cuffs, a single internal pocket, and reinforced seams for shipboard wear. Both versions were cut long in the body to be worn bloused over the trousers and secured with a traditional sailor’s belt or tied lanyard. Perfect for collectors, reenactors, or museums seeking historically accurate naval attire, each jumper is tailored according to original U.S. Navy quartermaster specifications for World War I.
