Description

Good for Goodwood Revival and re-enactment events, this vintage navy sea cadet’s uniform comprises a short jacket with anchor embossed gold metallic buttons and matching trousers.

The jacket is unlined with a rever collar and notched lapels, two large patch pockets with buttoned flaps and a 2” waistband with plain button fastening. The trousers have sharply pressed front creases, button fly, two side and two back buttoning pockets, buttons for braces and a waistband with metallic clasp buckle.

The very top button of the trousers is missing (but concealed by the buckle and could easily be replaced) and the uniform could do with a good airing to eliminate slight mustiness from long term storage, but it is otherwise in very good condition.

Sizing

Customers are asked to bear in mind that vintage garment sizes bear little or no resemblance to contemporary sizes. Furthermore, current high street size labels are inconsistent, with M&S and Wallis being noted for their generous proportions while others come up on the small side.

Please always refer to the measurements provided in the item description rather than the garment label size, and note that any ‘best fit’ suggestion we make will be based on modern day sizing. By way of example, our own suggested standard size 12 dress has an underarm to underarm measurement of approximately 19" with a waist size of 30".

In order to best gauge the suitability of an item, you may find it useful to compare our stated measurements with those of one of your own garments which is a comfortable fit. Our garment measurements are taken with the item laid flat, and all sizes in our descriptions are approximate.

The following charts give approximate comparative UK/US/European sizes for women’s clothing and shoes.
