I am not sure that is entirely right Fw. I remember clearly that the shipping office in Liverpool had a chart describing MN 'Board of Trade' Uniform. All else was surely company uniform - all same McDonalds bun-flipper. Successive Merchant shipping Acts made wearing MN Uniform by those not in the MN a criminal offence (although well hedged with exceptions to permit use by those not deliberately intending to use it maliciously, such as fancy dress and stage players).
