Hard to read the washed-out ink, embroidered name to:
中幸
Nakayuki

A little fiddling with the color .... it *looks* like
舞一補水二〇四七
Mai 1st Reserve Sailor 2*47

舞= 舞鶴 Maizuru
第一補充兵役 = First-level reservist
I'm fairly certain of the 2 and 7; the 4 is a guess based on overall shape. I cannot make out the second number.

Hat size (2)
Manufactured date: S17 [1942], January
Issued from the Yokosuka Military Depot.
