A Blast From the Past

An old USN-issue sewing kit:


Note the colors of the threads: Navy blue, white and khaki. Those were enough to mend all of the uniforms that were worn back in the day.

I don't know if the Navy still issues sewing kits and if there are threads compatible with the new camo uniforms or the now-discontinued aquaflage.

As to why a sea-based service needs to wear camouflage uniforms, well, I've blogged about that.
