Working
This Royal Navy working overall dates from the 1940s. Sailors would wear overalls when undertaking dirty work on board ship. But on smaller boats, like corvettes, sailors wore overalls as normal working dress as they were comfortable and saved wear and tear on No.3 uniform. On some occasions gun crews would also wear overalls.
