Hey everyone, sorry I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this but I am looking for some used Navy officer uniforms. This fall I will be going to school at the Texas Maritime Academy and I am required to purchase a complete set of Naval officer uniforms. Unfortunately, I'm a broke college student and I am trying to aquire some of the required items that are slightly used to save some money.

I'm 5'11 and about 175lbs and my shoe size is 10.5-11. I usually wear size 12 pants an a medium shirt. Below is the link to the list of required items, If anyone has anything that would fit me that you would be willing to sell please let me know!

Sincerely,

Holly

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near a navy base, the closest military installation is Fort Sill Oklahoma, but that's an Army basic training site so I don't know if they'd help me. If I went to a tailor and had them write down my measurements would that help?
Thank you SOOO much for your help, I've been searching around on the Internet and I think I've found some uniforms that might be my size. Is there a Navy size conversion chart anywhere, based off the measurements the tailor took that would tell me what size uniforms I need?

My measurements are as follows;

neck- 14.5 inches
armpit to wrist- 24 inches
waist (slightly above my belly button)- 30.5 inches
hips (around the biggest part of my rear
end)-40 inches
inseam- 33 inches
head-22 inches

Again, thanks for your help!
Thank you so much Hoppi aka Angie! You've really been a great help. Just one more question, regarding cover sizes, that's just the measurement of your head right? So my hat size would be 22?

Thanks

Holly
