I was in the Navy. Your dad is wearing "Seafarers," which were more stylish uniforms than the straight issue. You can see the difference between his tapered bell-bottoms and the straight-legged ones on the guy at the top right.
Free GG - Thanks for the comment! It's no surprise; I know Dad had a lot of his Navy attire custom tailored. He recently told me a story of how his bag was stolen with one of his new custom tailored uniforms inside.
Serendipity! We both blogged about sailors in Panama this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo!

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if your dad remembers when this was taken and what they were doing or where they were going. Always loved these uniforms.
