Liberty cuffs are a form of unauthorized personal decoration applied to the inside of the cuffs of military uniforms, which became popular in the United States Navy in the early 1900s and were imitated by other U.S. military branches starting around World War I. Liberty cuffs were embroidered patches sewn on the inside cuffs of sailors’ uniform shirts or jackets; the patches could only be seen when the cuffs were rolled up, which the sailor would do while on "liberty" or shore leave away from his ship.

| - Les Liberty cuffs (poignets de la liberté) sont une forme de décorations personnelles, non autorisées mais tolérées, appliquées à l'intérieur des manchettes d'uniformes militaires. Ces décorations devinrent populaires dans la marine des États-Unis au début des années 1900 et furent reprises par d'autres corps militaires américains lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Les liberty cuffs étaient des patches de tissu brodé, cousus la plupart du temps sur l'intérieur des poignets des chemises ou des vestes des marins. Ces patches ne pouvaient être vus que lorsque les manchettes étaient enroulées, ce que le marin faisait alors qu'il se trouvait en « liberté » ou en congé à terre, loin de son navire. On retrouve également ces broderies à l’intérieur des pantalons ou des vestes, toujours cachées. (fr)

| - Liberty cuffs are a form of unauthorized personal decoration applied to the inside of the cuffs of military uniforms, which became popular in the United States Navy in the early 1900s and were imitated by other U.S. military branches starting around World War I. Liberty cuffs were embroidered patches sewn on the inside cuffs of sailors’ uniform shirts or jackets; the patches could only be seen when the cuffs were rolled up, which the sailor would do while on "liberty" or shore leave away from his ship. Decorative stitching on Navy uniform cuffs was banned in 1910, forcing sailors to switch to a covert form of embroidered decoration. The cuffs were noted as popular prior to World War II in the United States Asiatic Fleet, including dragons and other popular regional symbols. Popular World War II imagery included dragons, mermaids, as well as dolphins for those working on submarines and birds for those working with aircraft. (en)
