This is a United States Navy dress uniform from the USS Enterprise for an Aviation Machinist 3rd Class. The uniform is very smart and has great colorful embroidery on both the inner cuffs of the top and inside the waist of the pants. There is also a fantastic embroidered dragon beneath the manufacturer's tag of the top. The top has one breast pocket and a V-neck and simply goes over the head.

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The uniform has one pinhead-sized hole on the thigh and a small split in the crotch seam, and the V of the neck has been repaired with thread: otherwise it is in wonderful condition.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
