Unlike the Canadian Forces, which have a variety of uniform styles and designations depending on the activity the officer is participating in, Navy League officers do not follow these standards.
The Navy League has a base Service Dress with alternatives, a Summer Dress standard and a work dress. There is no numbering associated with these types of dress and they should only be addressed by the names seen here to avoid any confusion with new officers.
Service dress – Notable remarks
Caps – both male and female officers will be issued forge caps instead of differing headwear as of February Complete phase out by June 2020.
Jacket – worn for inspections and formal parades with full medals
Shoes – should always be worn with full service dress and summer alternative. Boots okay with sweater alternate and work dress.
Ranks on tunics to be sewn as per handout NL 226 Annex A
Skirts – not mandatory but can be ordered on request
Bomber (Canex) Jacket – individual purchase, only worn with summer or sweater alternative.
Burbury overcoat – individual purchase, worn with service dress
