Me and my Pop were wondering what the history of the Navy Whites are? Especially things like the flap behind the neck, the neckchief, and the bell bottoms. I imagine there must be some story behind it. Anyone know?

Thx,

JUMPER FLAPS--the collar originated as a protective cover for the jacket to protect it from the grease or powder normally worn by seamen to hold hair in place.
