Richard Brown, commander of Naval Surface Forces, in a Jan. 9 press release. \u201cThose who wear the jacket will be easily identified as a part of a long lineage of professional ship drivers and maritime warfighters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To order their jackets, active and reserve SWOs must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.public.navy.mil\/surfor\/Pages\/SWO-Jacket-Home.aspx\">fill out an order form<\/a> on command letterhead and submit it via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Surface Warfare web page also includes detailed instructions on how to order a jacket that fits correctly, and what to do if there is a fitting problem once the jacket is received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.public.navy.mil\/surfor\/Pages\/SWO-Jacket-Home.aspx\">https:\/\/www.public.navy.mil\/surfor\/Pages\/SWO-Jacket-Home.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jacket was originally expected to be available in June, but production and delivery were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy now expects to receive at least 600 jackets each month and, if all required sizes are in stock, to begin distribution with admirals, working their way down the officer ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phased issuance will continue through 2021, the Navy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"356\" height=\"382\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SWO-jacket.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SWO-jacket.png.png 356w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SWO-jacket.png.png?resize=280,300 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SWOs can fill out an order form and email it to swojacket@navy.mil to receive their jackets. (Photo courtesy U.S. Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fully lined, black leather jacket features a center zipper, knitted cuffs, and a waistband. At the time it was announced, a Navy spokesperson expected 6,447 active duty personnel, 1,565 reservists and 356 full-time support sailors to be affected by the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the jacket is meant for wear at sea or aboard a ship, it also can be paired ashore with service uniforms. Leather or cloth name patches are the only patches authorized for wear on the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officers who transfer to non-surface warfare designators may keep their jacket. SWOs who retire or separate honorably from the Navy are also not required to turn in their jackets but are no longer eligible for replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already-retired SWOs are not eligible to receive the jackets, but the Navy stated that they \u201cexpect there to be vendors who make their own version of the SWO jacket for retired SWOs to purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The black leather jackets for sailors who have earned their SWO pins, announced in January, are now available
