CIVIL WAR PETTY OFFICER'S PATCHThere were few to no insignias worn by regular US sailors prior to 1866. This was one of the few exceptions. Worn by all Petty Officers it was up to the sailor to know who was who on his ship. The only distinction being regulations required some to wear it on the right sleeve, such as boatswains, gunners, carpenters and sailmakers, ship's stewards and cooks. While all other Petty Officers wore it on their left. Item # 2659 $9.95 BUY NOW! ENLISTED NAVAL CAPWe offer these caps in both blue and grey, choose below. BUY NOW!

Well we have lined the bottom of the brim with black 100% cotton cloth, that absorbs light rays, i.e. the glare reflecting off the water (or any other surface for that matter). Then we sew in a leather sweat band which adds much to the comfort, to finish it off we edge the brim with cotton ribbon - just as all well made period correct hats are finished. There is a very good picture of this hat in Echoes of Glory page 164. Now you don't have to be a sailor to enjoy this hat but the original we copied it from did belong to a navy man. #172-N $54.95SAILOR'S STRAW HAT SMALL SIZE 7# 172-N $54.95 BUY NOW!
