Six service stripes represent 24 to 27 years of honorable U.S. Coast Guard service on the Service Dress Blue coat.
They are sewn on the left sleeve of the Service Dress Blue coat at a 45 degree angle, with the bottom stripe positioned 2 inches above the cuff.
This is a single connected set so spacing remains straight and consistent, which helps achieve a clean inspection-ready appearance.
Additional stripes are sewn 1/4 inch above the previous set while maintaining the same angle and alignment.
