Bib, английский
- Baby incendiary bomb
- Sailing ship sailors seldom cut their hair which grew long enough to blow in the face when aloft or get caught in equipment and machinery. to overcome these problems, they would braid their tresses into pigtails and hold them in place with tar. however, even top-quality “stockholm tar” left stains on the backs of shirts and made a mess of the collars of their best dress when going ashore, so they took to arranging a protective scarf or bib around the back of the neck. by the time this evolved into the traditional square collar seen on the uniforms of naval ratings or enlisted personnel, pigtails were no longer in fashion. the three stripes, which appear on both rn and usn seamen’s bibs, have nothing to do with nelson’s three victories as is popularly believed.
