A white canvas naval pullover, featuring a V-neck opening with a drawstring tie at the bottom and a distinctively long back flap collar, typical of Royal Navy–style jumpers. The garment is made from thick, off-white cotton canvas, heavily soiled with use and showing age-related yellowing and stains. The name “A. SIMMONDS” is boldly stenciled in black ink across the chest area, identifying the original owner.
This style of jumper was standard-issue for sailors in the Royal Navy and Commonwealth naval services during the mid-20th century. It was worn as part of the working dress uniform, designed for durability and comfort during shipboard duties.
