Notes on the Introduction of Gold-Embroidered Cap Visors
The gold-embroidered cap visor for officers of the grades of Commander and above was introduced by Navy Department Circular No. 79 of June 12, 1897. The change was incorporated in the 1897 edition of Navy Uniform Regulations. In his unpublished manuscript on uniforms of the sea services, Commander William S. Edwards, USN, discusses the regulation and explains that "the idea of ornamenting the cap visors of these officers was actually approved and promulgated by the Department on 20 November 1878 but, for some unknown reason, was almost immediately cancelled." Contemporary Army and Navy Journal articles discuss both circulars, with comments on the "gorgeous" cap and other provisions of the changes; copies are attached herewith [not included]. Official records providing background on the formulation and issuance of the circulars may be in the custody of the National Archives.
In examining the British record, which so often has significance for the study of American naval tradition, it is interesting to note that the 1856 and 1860 uniform regulations, which introduced gold-embroidered peaks (or visors) for British naval officers of the grades of Commander and above, predate the official establishment of the rank of Lieutenant-Commander in the British Navy, which was deferred until March 1914. The grade of Lieutenant-Commander in the United States Navy was established by an Act of Congress on July 16, 1862, thirty-five years before the 1897 visor ornamentation circular was issued. A copy of the 1862 law, together with extracts from published sources tracing the evolution of the rank of Lieutenant-Commander in both navies, is attached [not included]. The deliberations which led to the introduction and passage of the bill may be recorded in official records held by the National Archives.

Hmm.
Khaki: KHAKI--originated in 1845 in India where British soldiers soaked white uniforms in mud, coffee, and curry powder to blend in with the landscape. Khakis made their debut in the U.S. Navy in 1912 when they were worn by naval aviators, and were adopted for submarines in 1931. In 1941 the Navy approved khakis for on- station wear by senior officers, and soon after Pearl Harbor chiefs and officers were authorized to wear khakis ashore on liberty. From http://usmilitary.about.com/od/navy/l/bluniformhist.htm
OFFICERS STARS--were first approved on line officers uniforms on 28 January 1864. All regulations since 1873 have specified that one ray would point downward toward the gold stripe on the sleeve. The reason for this is unknown.
MEN'S NECKERCHIEF--the black neckerchief or bandanna first appeared as early as the 16th century and was utilized as a sweat band and collar closure. Black was the predominant color as it was practical and did not readily show dirt. There is no truth to the myth that the black neckerchief was designed as a sign of mourning for Admiral Nelsons death.
NECKERCHIEF SQUARE KNOT--there is no historical significance to the knot other that it being a knot widely used by sailors which presents a uniform appearance.

You make the Madame Grinka's costume
I'm sure you could modify your bustle gown only a little (add weapons!) and it'd work!
What's your head size, in either cm (european) or english hat sizes?

(Anonymous) 2008-08-20 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)I've not dealt with them, but for hats very much in the Jaegerstil, (i.e. Nize Hats), check out Dirty Billy's pre-Civil War, 19th C. Hats at:

Thanks!
Or possibly we could be Jager's together. I'm thinking that I want to be General Zog; you could be one of the other generals. You were made to be either in Gilbert & Sullivan or a Steampunk Officer. Oh, and Native Mixologist. Yer loverly wife would make a GREAT Aethership captain...you could be (drumroll) her FIRST MATE!
I kill myself, but someone's gotta do it!
(Or should that be MeinHerr B. Fun?)
I picked up a policeman's hat for $30 that fits that I'll tart up.
