“美國海軍制服 US Navy Uniforms” / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01639
A sailor in “crackerjack” white uniform salutes to crew members boarding the ship while another enlisted sailor chats with another sailor named Callen in “Navy Working Uniform”—a camouflage which is digitally printed in multiple colors. According to Wikipedia, this should be the Navy Type III MARPAT [1].
The Crackerjacks—so nicknamed because of the Navy-uniformed figure that adorns the Cracker Jack snack box—are my all-time favorite uniforms worn by military units. Most probably because they feature bell-bottom cuts—a cut of pants which is closed to impossible for me to buy anywhere and I used to custom tailor them for myself—as many of my friends in New York knows.
It is for this same reason why I love the clothes designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier [2], a fashion designer based in France who has had a long history of designing outfits which bears many naval uniform influences.
