警察服飾 小考 : 美軍政時代中心 centering on the uniform during the period of the U.S military administration = Review on the Korean Police Uniform

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since 1876 (the 13th year of King Kojong) when a treaty of amity was drawn up, Japan jarred open the door of the Yi dynasty, breaking down the national isolation policy. In June 29, 1894 a special Reform Council (Kunkukkimucho) attempted to reform the design of an official crown (a brimless, high crowned hat worn by government officials) and official uniform, which resulted in more simplified uniforms in the second reform in January 11, 1895. In April 9 of the same year, the government issued a decree No. 78 concerning the army uniform which ordered to wear the westernized army uniform.
In July of the same year, the special Reform Council eliminated the system of the police bureau and instead it established the office of police affairs, which brought about the reform of the police uniform. As in the case of the official uniform, the police uniform also changed to the western design based on the army uniform.
On the costume of this period have many writers eloberated, therefore this paper intends- to study the police uniform during the U.S military administration period since the 1945 liberation of Korea from Japan. It should be noted that the 36-year period under the Japanese rule since the Korean annexation to Japan in August 29, 1910 is not included and the study on the police uniform was conducted based on the classification of sex, pattern, season and rank with the help of uniforms restored to their original state, pictures and photos.
In the period of the U.S military administration, Korea was aided a lot by the U.S Army and the pattern of its uniform was also greatly influenced by the U.S. Army uniform. For instance the black woolen hat was round with a semicircled vizor and the cadet's hat is circled with golden bands while the non-cadet's hat is circled with black leather bands and it has a badge in front. The form of the badge is illustrated in Diagram 4-4. The jacket made of black woolen cloth has a chinese style collar, and is double buttoned with five buttons in a row. A Breast mark is designed to attach to the area of the third button in left while an ensign to wear on shoulders.
Trousers made of black woolen cloth like jacket are just ordinary ones convenient to move about.
The summer jacket is light grey made of mixed fabric. There are safari jacket and battle jacket. In case of safari jacket, there are four buttoned out pockets with flaps on both sides of chest and waist A white no-tie shirt is designed to wear under the uniform with the collar shown outside. The shirt has four front buttons. Breast marks are worn above the left upper pocket.
Battle jacket, same in color, fabric and way of attiring as safari jacket has only two front pockets with flap on both sides of waist. Black shoes were worn all the year round.
Female winter and summer police uniform are the same in design but somewhat different in color, fabric and way of attiring. In case of winter uniform, the hat made of black woolen cloth is round with no visor and the badge, unlike that of male police has a taekuk design (two-comma-pattern) in the pattern of rose of sharon (no bird in it).
The jacket similar to battle jacket in design has three large metal upper buttons and two small metal buttons on a hem. Under this jacket a white Tshirt and a neck-tie were worn. A simple A-line skirt was worn with laced, somewhat high heeled black shoes.
Female police carried a shoulder bag strapped across the chest. The whole design aims at convenience and easy-movement.
The difference between winter uniform and summer uniform is the color. It is khaki made of woolen fabric. A no-tie shirt was worn with its collar out like a male police man.
The uniform of this design had been worn from September 9, 1945 to some time after August 15, 1948 when Korea was liberated from Japan. It is regretful, howevern that referential materaials could not be found, and some concerned data offered by police were found not to be specific.
The analysis of enlarged pictures of the skirt shows no pleat, while Gyungu-sinbo claims the color of police sergeant's ensign is white but that displayed in a museum is red. The latter was used in this paper.
Ordinary things used in our daily life are likely to be regarded as trivial but in the process of this study, it is realized that such conception should be corrected. Thus it is desirable that necessary and specific data and materials are kept for next generations.
