U.S. Navy Tie

Sailors, Navy Officers, Navy veterans, and admirers of the U.S. Navy will wear this U.S. Navy Tie with pride and understated patriotic style. Like Navy uniforms, this classic neckwear was designed with tradition and practicality. The navy blue field represents the sea; the wide gold stripes upon it, victory at sea. Dual dress blue stripes within the gold symbolize the seas and space. Slender threads of white—representing both the wakes of ships, boats and torpedoes and the contrails of aircraft and missiles—signify the prowess of the U.S. Navy from deep sea to deep space. As practical as it is symbolic, this tie will not water stain, fade or wear out. Imported. 100% silk.  58"l. x 3.75"w.
