Our officer wool shirt is a copy of the standard field uniform used by Army and Air Corps officers. NCO's and enlisted men sometimes purchased these and wore them as well. They are made from the same mustard wool serge cloth as the EM shirts, but they differ by having epaulets. We copied the originals down to the labels and button color. (Garrison Caps, Wool Trousers and Service Coats are made from a different, heavier fabric, just like originals.)
These are produced for ATF. These are not offered by any other company. Thus any shortcomings or peculiarities of other products have no bearing on ours. We spend quite a bit of time to insure that our uniforms are sized properly- the shirts are no exception.
Fabric: Our shirts are a 70/30 wool/ poly blend. (Originals were 80/20 wool rayon.)
Wear: It is correct to wear them with all field uniforms as well as in garrison. They could be worn on their own, or under the field or jump jackets. The only time these shirts were likely "unauthorized" would be with the "pinks and green" officer service uniforms which have their own shirts. (We do not make pinks and greens because they would be too expensive.)
Neckties: Khaki or Wool ties are correct.
Insignia: Officers wore their rank on the right collar and their branch of service on the left.
Imported
(If we made these in USA the price would double.)
Warning! Dry Clean Only!
Sizing: These are sized like dress shirts by neck and sleeve measurement. Like the originals, the bodies are roomy and can easily be tailored to fit the individual by tapering the sides. If you have never bought a dress shirt, it's simple: using a tape measure, measure the circumference of your neck just above the base. Then, extend your arm and measure from the center of your neck to the end of your wrist to get your sleeve length. Should this prove to be too difficult, then go to any department store (Macy's, Bacon's, Dillard's, JC Penny, etc, etc) and ask someone to measure you for a dress shirt. "M", "L", "42R" or "Big" won't allow us to fill your order. Imported.
