Hi! I recently bought a sailor’s (NAVY) outfit at an antique store. Perfect condition. It’s one of the few outfits that got one of those patches from Walt Disney for his (appreciation I think you call it?) for the war vets..? (Sorry if I’m mistaken on why he made them.) I was wondering if I’m able to wear it? Would it be disrespectful to wear something that is from the NAVY that isn’t mine?

Obviously - I’m not in or ever was in the NAVY, but I’m just curious! It’s not just a hat. It’s the full outfit (minus shoes). Shirt, Pants and a hat. I don’t believe I have any relatives that were in the NAVY either.

Also, I’d never claim something was mine that isn’t. So if I were to wear it & somebody / someone asked if it was mine, then I wouldn’t say it is. I also wouldn’t wear it to be disrespectful!

I’m just unsure on if it’s disrespectful to wear something like that sort of clothing piece(s) as a normal civilian who doesn’t / didn’t ever serve.
