Royal Naval uniform: pattern 1836.

White cotton twill trousers with a satin finish. Fall-front with four metal button fastenings, worn by Lieutenant Horatio James (died 1850), later Commander. The flap fastens with two additional buttons. There is a fob pocket in the waistband. The pocket flaps also fasten with metal buttons, but are separate from the flap. There are four buttons along the top for braces. At the back there is one button on either side of the gusset to secure braces. The central back gusset also had two eyelets on either side with cotton tape to adjust the fit. (NMM).

King George IV died on 26th June 1830. A fortnight later his brother, William IV, ordered that the collars and cuffs of the dress coats of [Royal Navy] commissioned officers should be changed from white to scarlet, that three buttons should be placed under each of the pocket flaps, and that no gold lace should be worn on the trousers. His Majesty also gave breeches a final kick in the seat by decreeing that they should no longer be worn at king's or queen's drawing-rooms. Thus they made their exit from the naval officer's wardrobe.

[...] Trousers, however, remained problem garments. 'Doubts appearing to be entertained' as to when to wear white and when to wear blue, His Majesty was 'graciously pleased to command' that on all occasions of full dress officers should wear white trousers between 1st May and 14th October and blue trousers between 15th October and 30th April. In undress the decision was left to to the weather and the officer concerned, as it had been in the past.

To be honest, I couldn't come up with much of a blurb for this one shockingly >w< -- this is a piece I've wanted to draw for a very long time, since I think Soviet naval uniforms look really neat. Sorry to anybody who can read Russian if A. my writing is horrendous and B. if it's horribly wrong, I let Google do the driving XwX;;

This was really satisfying to finally do though, I hope to do a few more uniforms soon, but I also have some other stuff to work on ^^

Cheers~!

Lieutenant Flat was too stupid and indifferent to the opinion of the other officers, to care any thing about what they thought; he would have married Milly long before, but my aunt, who had made up her mind to marry an officer, did not yet despair of obtaining the captain; and, although she would not positively dismiss Lieutenant Flat, she merely kept him as a sort of reserve, to fall back upon when every other chance was gone.

Prince Albert as a young naval officer at the Battle of Jutland in WWI. No one knew he would be King George VI in twenty years, or how it would affect his life.

Garp getting out of Fullalead and getting updated on Wano is so

"Luffy took out Kaido? Hahahaha! That's my grandson, isn't he cute? Then again, if all he was gonna do was beat up pirates, why couldn't he just become a Marine, that shitty kid just lives to spite me, he's so. Eh. *sees his new wanted poster. squints. looks up. looks back down. looks up and points* My grandson's a brunette."

"Yes, we know Garp, but–"

"This kid, whoever he is, is wearing white. My shitty grandson doesn't wear white. White clothes just don't stay white when he's wearing them. I don't know who this is, but it's not Luffy."

"He's literally got the straw hat hanging from his neck!"

*GASP* "This punk stole Luffy's hat? The hat that Red-Haired Shanks gave him? That he swore to become the Pirate King on? The one that his whole crew name and Jolly Rogers is based on? Good. I'll have to thank him. After I beat him up for mugging my shitty grandson. Of course, Luffy should've been strong enough to defend himself in the first place, so it's his fault, but just on principle. I'll let the punk keep the hat after and everything."

#One Piece #Monkey D. Garp #Monkey D. Luffy #I present you two scenarios based on this #one: Garp finds Nika!Luffy and tries to fight him. Luffy just assumes it's more training and just squares up #two: Garp by the side of a naval ship holding out a uniform hat: pspspsps join the marines and you can beat up all the pirates you want #you can go all the way up to Vice-Admiral and without having to deal with the slavery pspspsps #Wano arc #Egghead arc #one piece spoilers

Mr. Sawbridge, who imagined that the name of the first-lieutenant would strike terror to a culprit midshipman, threw himself back in the chair, and assumed an air of importance.

“Really, sir,” replied Jack, “what may be your exact situation on board, my ignorance of the service will not allow me to guess, but if I may judge from your behaviour, you have no small opinion of yourself.”

“Look ye, young man, you may not know what a first-lieutenant is, and I take it for granted that you do not, by your behaviour; but depend upon it, I’ll let you know very soon.”
