Yeah, the Navy has those. They're called "Chokers" and are blindingly white. Head to toe, including the shoes. They're made of 100% polyester, and couldn't be hotter if they if they plugged in like electric blankets.

The Navy has had dress whites, and other all white, uniforms for a long long time. The new Ensigns commissioned at the same ceremony that I was wore them, IIRC. They weren't always polyester. I'm surprised they still are, it's a dangerous fabric to be wearing on a ship, it melts in a fire.
