A World War II American sailor stands in his winter blues, wearing a double-breasted navy peacoat over gray trousers, leather shoes, and the classic white 'Dixie cup' sailor cap. He glances to one side, hands working at something held low in front of him.

The period uniform makes him ideal for a wartime dockside, shore-leave street, or naval base scene. He suits a diorama of a busy harbor, a model railroad port town, or a wargaming coastal setting.

Group him with other servicemen and civilians to populate a 1940s waterfront vignette.
