Nepleslian Dress Uniform (YE 33)

This tunic-styled dress uniform was developed by the Star Military of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia to provide an especially presentable appearance for their soldiers at special occasions such as promotions, ceremonies, funerals, and weddings.

The uniform jacket is single breasted with a band collar and five brass buttons along the chest. The fabric is dark green or blue (for the Navy) and made of 55% wool and 45% polyester. It has shoulder straps and two upper chest pockets with flaps shaped like inverted chevrons. The shoulder stripes and pocket flaps also have gold buttons that are slightly smaller than the ones on the center line. The shoulder straps and collar are trimmed with gold piping. A Nepleslian flag patch is on the right shoulder.

• A brass nametag goes on the left side above the pocket.
• Buttons can be smooth round or embossed with a design.
• Medals are placed on the right side 1/4 inch above the pocket.
• Unit patches are authorized for wear on the left arm.

The jacket uses Navy-style sleeve bands for officers and gold chevrons on the arm for enlisted:

• Grades O6 and O7: One or two very thick stripes
• Grades O1 to O5: Thick gold sleeve stripes, one per grade (O1 shown in example image above).
• Grade E6: Three chevrons and two rockers
• Grade E5: Three chevrons and one rocker
• Grade E4: Three chevrons
• Grade E3: Two chevrons
• Grade E2: One chevron
• Grade E1: No rank patch

Chevrons go below the flag.

The jacket is worn with white pants (officer pants have a black stripe on the legs), black shoes, and a beret or officer cap. A white pistol belt with a closed-faced brass buckle is also worn. Gloves, if worn, should be black.
