Libertymen are sailors who have permission to leave their ship and go ashore. Bum-freezer jackets are short (usually more formal) jackets, they are too short to keep the bum warm, hence, bum-freezer.

This is slang British English particular to the military there. I'm guessing that it's outdated English ( not used today ).
