Sleeve - 23"

Blue wool Navy WAVES uniform jacket that has been modified for civilian use after the war (probably by the WAVE herself). The collar has been redone and one of the chest pocket flaps was removed. The buttons were replaced with black flower buttons. Fairly good condition. There are a few white smudges. Small hole on the end of one sleeve and in the collar. Some spots where the material is wearing thin on the shoulder and on the lapels. Her name is stamped inside but it is a little hard to read. Nice WAVES labels still inside. The lining has some wear and some tearing.

Would make an interesting display to show what was often done to uniforms after the war.
