Vintgae 1940’s WWII US Navy CPO Shirt Single Pocket Waves Named Jenna Johnston For Sale

Up for sale is an incredibly rare, authentic 1940s World War II U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer (CPO) wool shirt. This is the highly coveted first-model variant, instantly identifiable by its single left chest pocket featuring the classic 1940s scalloped flap. It was manufactured by the Naval Clothing Factory and features the original dark urea anchor-motif buttons. HISTORICAL PROVENANCE: What makes this specific piece exceptional is the original military cloth name tape sewn directly over the interior contract label. The tape reads "JENNA JOHNSTON", indicating this heavy-duty winter shirt was issued to a female service member serving in the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) or a Navy medical unit during WWII. Finding named female-attributed combat/workwear gear from this era is incredibly uncommon. CONDITION: Good vintage condition for its age. The midnight blue melton wool is structurally sound and retains great color. The cloth name tape is firmly attached. There are 2 tiny moth nips. One on the front bottom and one of the back bottom.
