Now, I suppose an argument could be made that the commercial maritime uniforms have military roots, but the jury is still out. There are accounts of some pre naval merchant and exploration ships' crews that had a semblance of a uniform that indicated their position as to make it easier to bark out orders to configure all those sails. I'm a geek. That is all. Carry on.:o

DAL uniforms are almost identical to US Navy uniforms.
