German Naval uniforms and headgear were based on traditional designs that date back to the Prussian Navy in 1848.
Although the uniforms and headgear did evolve during the interim years, many items used during the Third Reich period would still have been quite recognizable to the Imperial sailor.
The blue and white jumper shirts were a staple uniform item for all EM/NCO personnel and followed the basic design of the Imperial Navy and Reichsmarine blue and white jumper shirts.
The white jumper shirts were intended for wear in tropical climates or with the summer walking out dress while the navy blue shirts were meant for everyday wear.
The blue jumper shirts were worn with a black silk kerchief and a separate removable collar dickie.
This resembled the integral collar on the white jumper shirts.
This jumper does not have one of these dickies.........

Pre-war period ? I never saw that on any war picture and have similar one on my blue jumper.
