WASHINGTON (Sept. 19, 2007) – Three Sailors show off the prototype uniforms for service dress white and service dress khaki. The prototype service dress khaki uniform is a throwback to the traditional WWII style. The uniform allows for chiefs and officers to shift from service khaki to service dress khaki by adding a black tie and jacket. The prototype service dress white uniform focuses on better fabric and fit of the uniform without drastically changing the look. The most visible change of the uniform is adding blue piping along the cuffs and the collar. The fabric is polyester, which allows for improved ventilation and can be washed with no dry-cleaning necessary. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Brien Aho
