I am sure I got mine in 1963 in Water Street in Liverpool, pointed there from the AEI basement office just across the road. I have just looked on Google Maps and though the buildings look vaguely familiar, I can't see any evidence of an MN Outfitters.
I wore it on every ship, but on Safmarine, the 'whites' morphed to 'greys'. I joined my last ship, a tanker waiting at anchor at RasTan. in late evening, and sailed as soon as we were aboard. I turned up for breakfast smart in my greys complete with insignia of rank, only to find myself somewhat over-dressed. I kept the greys though as you see in my avatar !!!
