British MTP Barracks Shirt

MTP Warm Weather Shirt

This is the British Army's MTP barracks shirt, a lightweight button-front shirt issued for warm weather and everyday wear in camp. It is cut in Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP), the British Army's camouflage, and made from a 70/30 cotton and polyester blend that stays cooler than a heavier combat jacket. Collectors, reenactors, airsofters and anyone who wants a practical genuine-issue field shirt will find it a straightforward choice.

Features

• Genuine British Army Issue — This shirt was made for and issued by the British Army, so you get original government kit rather than a commercial copy.
• Multi-Terrain Pattern Camouflage — MTP uses the MultiCam colour palette of greens, browns and tans, chosen to blend across a wide range of ground.
• 70/30 Polycotton Fabric — Cotton keeps the shirt breathable and comfortable on the skin, while the polyester adds strength and helps it hold its shape through washing.
• Full Button-Front Placket — The shirt closes with buttons all the way down the front, with no zip to snag or fail.
• Two Buttoned Chest Pockets — Each chest pocket has a flap secured with a button to keep small items from falling out.
• Sewn-In Rank Tab — A buttoned tab at the centre of the chest takes a rank slide, the sleeve of fabric that carries a soldier's insignia.
• Buttoned Roll-Up Cuffs — The cuffs fasten with a button and can be rolled up the forearm when the weather turns hot.
• Union Flag Sleeve Patch — A small Union Jack is fixed to the upper left arm, as on issued British uniforms.

British Issue Specification

The barracks shirt follows the British Army's own pattern: a pointed collar, a front rank tab, twin flapped chest pockets and buttoned cuffs, all in MTP polycotton. British sizing pairs a chest measurement with a height fitting, offered in Short (150 to 160cm), Regular (170 to 180cm) and Long (190 to 200cm). Check the height range against your own before ordering so the body and sleeves come out at the right length.
