Navy uniform is one of the most distinctive costumes of naval soldiers. Although the naval costumes of different countries in the world are different, their styles are similar, forming an "international fashion model". In particular, the uniforms of the marine corps have basically formed an international common style, usually white and blue, with hooded tops and shawls, and several white lines on the blue shawls and cuffs; Pants are slit at the side, and they are very fat. This "paradigm" comes from many years of life practice at sea. Sailors often go in and out in narrow cabins, requiring neat and convenient clothes, so jackets are usually pullovers. The pullover jacket is inserted in the waistband to avoid hanging clothes when going up and down the gangway and entering and leaving the hatch. Vomiting is inevitable when sailing in the ocean. In order to avoid collar irritation and reduce vomiting, the tops of marine uniforms are collarless. Pants are slit at the side, which is convenient for climbing the mast in sailing times. There are three main considerations for trousers hypertrophy. First, boots can be covered to prevent splashing water. Second, it is easy to scratch when washing the deck; Third, the life-saving escape at sea is rapid, and the pants that have been taken off are tightly tied to the pants and filled with air, which is the emergency floating airbag. The shawl of the coat used to be used as a "shoulder pad", but now it has no greater use value except for its beauty. There is a saying about the origin of shawls: ancient men had long hair, and sailors liked to braid their long hair in order to adapt to life at sea. Who knows that shiny braids often dirty sailors' clothes, so they put a square towel on their shoulders to keep them clean, and then gradually evolved into a part of sailors' coat styles. At present, the underwear worn by sailors in various countries is usually white and blue striped shirts, commonly known as navy shirts, also known as sea soul shirts. The meaning of the sea soul shirt is the vast sea and blue sky. Sailors look more energetic in the Shanghai soul shirt.

The marine corps uniform of China People's Liberation Army has undergone many changes. In the early 1950 s, the styles of marine corps uniforms were: white and blue in summer, shawl, ribbon and badge; Winter clothes are all blue flowers. The shawl and cuffs of summer clothes are blue with three white lines on them. This design, on the one hand, is modeled after the Soviet navy, on the other hand, the navy once owned three fleets: the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The three white lines represent the three major fleets, which also means that the People's Navy shoulders the task of guarding the three major territorial waters. As for the Bohai Sea, it is said that it was not clearly separated from the Yellow Sea at that time; On the other hand, Soviet troops were stationed in Lushun at that time, and the defense of Bohai Sea depended on them. It was not until around 1955, when the military rank system was implemented (the Soviet army handed over to Lushun for defense and withdrew from Lushun in the same year), that the navy added a white line to the shawl and cuffs of the naval uniform, which became four white lines, and gave it the meaning that "the People's Navy is responsible for defending the four major territorial waters of the motherland, namely the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea". At this time, the navy uniform is all blue from top to bottom, from wearing badges to epaulettes. 1June, 965, the uniform of the marine corps was cancelled, and the sailors were unified with gray uniforms. 1974 in may, the navy restored its unique marine uniform. After decades of development and changes, the uniforms of the People's Navy are more beautiful and chic.

White or blue-and-white coat, no brim hat, two black ribbons behind the hat, and blue fat pants. How did the distinctive and distinctive clothes of sailors come into being?

Sailors have existed since ancient times, and sailors naturally have sailor suits. But before the middle of18th century, sailors' clothing in different countries in the world was different. Even in the same country, marine corps uniforms are not uniform everywhere. The British navy was the most powerful at that time. 1747, after inspecting the navy, King George II of England thought that the disunity of clothes hindered the majesty of the royal navy, so he ordered the development of a unified sailor suit.

The Minister of the Royal Navy has extensively solicited opinions from all walks of life, and many people think that naval clothing should be composed of blue and white. Because blue is not only like the ocean where sailors get along day and night, but also like the boundless sky, while white symbolizes the pure soul of soldiers. Jeangeorges II, a sailor suit designed under this guiding ideology, is very satisfied. Therefore, he ordered all officers and soldiers of the Royal Navy to wear white coats and blue bottoms to show their appearance and behavior.

18 17, the U.S. navy department first followed the British style and issued an order to unify sailors' clothing. Since then, the navy clothing of various countries has gradually adopted the color of white on the top and blue on the bottom, and the styles have also tended to be consistent.

Almost all sailors in the world have streamers on their hats, but some of them are very short, such as those in Japan; Some of them are very long, such as Russian ones. Only a few countries have no ribbons on their naval caps.

Why are there two streamers on the sailor's hat?

Some people say that this is to detect the wind direction at any time, and there are two streamers on the sailor's hat that can be used as weather vanes. However, this statement is not accurate In fact, the ribbon on the sailor's hat is related to the British navy general Nelson.

1805, France and Spain joined forces, and Emperor Napoleon personally led a huge fleet to launch a large-scale attack on Britain. In the face of powerful enemies, Nelson, the famous British naval commander, was fearless. 10 10 On October 20th, he led the fleet, divided into two columns, and launched a decisive battle with the enemy forces of France and Spain at sea near Cape Trafalgar. Under Nelson's brave and flexible command, the British navy destroyed 15 enemy ships in one fell swoop, which saved the British Isles from attack and greatly consolidated Britain's dominant position at sea. This victory also made Nelson a famous hero. However, Nelson was seriously injured in the chest in this fierce battle and died for his country.

In order to mourn Nelson, Britain decided that during the mourning period, all sailors' hats should be decorated with two black ribbons to show their condolences. Who knows, after the decoration, people found that the ribbon made the sailors more elegant, so they didn't take it off after the mourning period, as a special decoration.

Sailor pants are more like women's pants than men's pants You see: there is no opening in the front crotch, and the two sides of the waist are connected by buttons. The trouser legs are particularly fat. Its origin is also very interesting.

17 13 At midnight one day, the British navy warship "Sea Wolf" was ordered to set sail in an emergency and sailed out of Edinburgh Port to carry out its mission. Who knows, not long after going out to sea, it was attacked by enemy ships. The ship sank and 33 officers and men on board dived to escape. Incredibly, only one sailor was saved in the end. He is john carr, the worst swimmer. Everyone else was killed.

Afterwards, relevant departments launched an investigation. According to john carr's self-report, it was a pair of trousers that he wore by mistake in his busy life that saved his life. That night, 23-year-old john carr spent the night at his home near the military port. In the middle of the night, I heard the bell of emergency sailing, so I didn't have time to look carefully in my panic, and I even put on a pair of my wife's pants. When the warship sank, he jumped into the sea with everyone. Fortunately, the trousers didn't fall into the water, and the trouser legs were full of gas. John Kalma grabbed his bulging pants and was able to float at sea for 17 hours until he was rescued.

The relevant naval departments are very interested in john carr's adventure. Through analysis and test, it is found that women's trousers are easy to fall off when they are connected by buttons, while the fat trouser legs can be inflated quickly when they fall vertically into the water. Not only that, the sailor often washes the deck, and his trousers can be easily rolled up above his knees, so that he won't splash his trousers when he works.
