(h) To present a uniform appearance, the white hat shall be formed so that approximately 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of the edge of the brim is turned down horizontally to form a “lip” that is parallel to the deck when worn. Starch may be used to mold the brim to this shape.
(4) Female Personnel. Women wear appropriate uniforms with the accoutrements listed in subparagraph 1a(3)(b) to provide compatibility. Additionally, female members of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, Washington, D.C. are authorized to wear the men's Service Dress Blue uniform.
(5) Ceremonial Guard Patch. Enlisted personnel, E-6 and junior, are authorized to wear an identifying sleeve patch while assigned to the U.S. Ceremonial Guard, Washington, DC. The patch will be a blue arc with white border and the words “CEREMONIAL GUARD” embroidered in white. It will be worn on the blue and white jumpers in the same position as the Unit Identification Mark described in paragraph 4225.
(6) Medals. All Medals shall be anodized or polished to a high luster and boarded to maintain the shape of the ribbon.

(9) Cold Weather Cap. The cold weather cap will be prescribed for wear with the Winter Ceremonial Uniform by the senior member of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard (commander of troops, petty officer in charge, etc.) at a given ceremony, funeral, or formal event. Factors influencing the decision to wear the cap will be severity of weather, anticipated duration of event, and potential benefit to the Sailors.
(a) Description. The cap is made of black fabric with a black synthetic fur visor and side flaps with a chinstrap. Snap fasteners are attached to hold the visor in the up position and to secure the chinstrap.
(b) Correct Wear
1. The cap is worn straight on the head so that the headgear insignia is centered on the forehead. No hair will be visible on the forehead. The side flaps are worn down and the chinstrap is secured; the flaps will not be worn up.
2. Officers and CPOs will wear the cap with the large cap device appropriate to the member – commissioned officer cap device or MCPO/SCPO/CPO combination cap device – attached through the grommet on the visor. Enlisted personnel E1-E6 will wear the enlisted cap device (E1-E6) described in article 4331.1 attached through the grommet on the visor.
3. Female personnel will wear their hair in a manner within Navy grooming standards that facilitates the proper wearing of the cold weather cap. Female Sailors that routinely wear their hair in a bun may wear their hair down while wearing the cap. Hair worn down will ensure the flap of the cap, scarf, and overcoat collar cover the hair at the back of the head and neck and that no hair is visibly protruding from under the cap. Wearing the hair down below the collar will be permitted only for the duration of the event for which the Winter Ceremonial Uniform and cap are worn; upon completion of the event and the cap is not required to be worn, hair will be worn in accordance with uniform regulations.
(c) Ownership Markings. On designated nameplate.
a. General. The prescribing authority determines the uniforms for Honor Guards and Ceremonial Units. The prescribed uniform shall comply with uniforms authorized in Chapter 3 as appropriate. Special Ceremonial Uniforms, which deviate from uniforms authorized in chapter 3, must be approved by the Chief of Naval Operations (N-09B).
(1) Outerwear. Wear only the outer garments described elsewhere in the regulations, such as overcoats, reefers, peacoats, all-weather coats and windbreakers, with uniforms.
(2) Guard Belts. Wear the standard white guard belt with all uniforms and outside all outer garments.
(3) Personnel Under Arms. Officers and Chief Petty Officers wear pistol and pistol belts, in parades with enlisted men under arms. The sword and sword belt may be prescribed in lieu of the pistol and pistol belt for wear by officers required to have this equipment. Other male officers may wear the sword if provided. When carrying the pistol, wear the belt outside of coat, with the holster slightly in front of the right hip. If only one magazine pocket, wear it to the left of the buckle. If two pockets, place them to the right and left of the buckle. White pistol belt and holster cover (or bayonet scabbard) may be prescribed on shore stations. When the bayonet is prescribed, the bayonet scabbard is worn on a guard belt positioned on the left hip. Enlisted men under arms for parades or other ceremonies ashore, for infantry drill or on guard detail at shore activities may wear leggings when prescribed.
a. General. The Commanding Officer, USS CONSTITUTION, provides regulation 1813 pattern naval uniforms. The 1813 pattern uniform is organizational issue clothing.
