USN Male Enlisted Summer Tropical SDB Jacket with Silver Buttons. This jacket was part of the Navy's Enlisted Service Dress Blue uniform from 1973 to 1980.
The double-breasted coat is made of gabardine poly wool with 1 upper left breast pocket, 2 hip pockets, and three 35-line Navy Eagle silver buttons down each forefront. Summer Tropical Wool style with half-lined interior in upper back, front and sleeves.
This classic suit jacket provides a timeless look with professional appeal, ideal for any special occasion or uniform-inspired event. The silver buttons can be replaced with your own special buttons to customize the look, just note that the weave is poly/wool, which is different than the current navy-twill Officer/CPO jackets. With its high-quality craftsmanship, this piece cuts a smart look equally on a yacht or in a board room.
