Cataloging NoteNote
It was very difficult to identify this uniform, as the buttons and insignia did not match any online descriptions of service uniforms. The old Excel inventory sheet identified it as a 'Navy' uniform. Best guess, this is a Navy Aviation Working Green Uniform, which was in use from circa 1925 to 2011.
