WWII style suntan officers khaki shirt; Sometimes known as "class B" uniform, the stand-up collar is the style for officers in WWII. Size is taped at 16x34.
It has a historic WWII shoulder patch for the XIV (Fourteenth) Corps which is original to the shirt. It is a cut-edge WWII type patch. The shirt is from when the 14th Corps was in Minnesota in the 1950's but looks the same as when the 14th was on Guadalcanal under Gen Alexander Patch. They later became the corps that liberated Manila in the Philippines Liberation. The patch is hand stitched which adds to the realism.
It has a nice salty fade and is shrunk to size 16 X 34 plus a smidge. There are some tiny holes on the back and a hole the size of a quarter in the tucked in portion of the tail.
This is a US Army Man's Khaki Shade 1 Cotton Long Sleeve shirt from the 1950's.
Here is why you need a WWII style officers khaki shirt with a hole in the tail:
It is an affordable large size. This shirt is for a John Wayne size human and costs way less than a repro. When you tuck it in you cannot see the hole in the tail. Or you can get it mended.
It is wear ready: This can be worn out of the box as a combat beat shirt for a corps Staff officer, in the late battles on Guadalcanal including Gen Patch himself, when the corps included the 2nd Marine Div, 25th Tropical Lightning and Americal Divisions. It also works for when the XIV Corps included the 40th Infantry and 1st Cavalry Divisions for the liberation of Manila.
You could also starch it up with spiffy creases and wear it to the 40's dance! The starch will mitigate the flaws on the back. Or just get the holes mended.
The only reason I don't keep it is my neck is a 17" plus and I want to be able to close the collar when needs be.
It has three flaws on the back which I have place coins next to so you can see how big they are.
It ships in a white bubble wrap envelope for your best shipping value.
