KM white summer tunic wwith aguillete

[amiklic1]

Hello, on Collector's guild there is a new item.
I never saw white summer tunic with aguillete, so would like to check if that's per regulations or is an assembled item. Obviously it came together, but was it usually worn like that, or?

Here is one pic:

There are photos of aguilletes in wear with white dress tunics. Cant comment on regulations.

Yes, it seems that adjutants were using the aguilettes with all officer's uniforms.

A nice jacket shown. Is there any depot stamps or laundry tag with this?

A nice piece. Would love to hear what the aggulette was awarded/issued for?
Administrative General Staff?
Honor Guard?

Hi Justin,

They weren't awarded, but rather were an insignia of sorts indicating the Adjutant role (or at least that's my understanding). My Dad was Adjutant to the Admiral in charge of Navy communications for the Mediterranean in Rome in 1942 but he never wore the aiguillette because Rome was considered an "open city" and so they wore only civilian clothes on duty.
