French Navy Blue Dress Shirt

French Issue Dress Shirt

This long-sleeve dress shirt is genuine French military issue, cut in a light heathered blue with an open collar, twin flap pockets and shoulder epaulettes. It was made to be worn as part of a service uniform, so it looks neat and holds up to regular wear. Collectors, reenactors building a French kit, and anyone who wants a well-made military shirt for everyday wear will all find a use for it.

Features

• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton gives the fabric a soft, breathable feel, and polyester helps it resist creasing and keep its shape through repeated washing.
• Heathered Light Blue Fabric — The mottled, slightly textured blue weave reads like chambray and pairs easily with uniform trousers or jeans.
• Open Notched Collar — The collar is cut to lie flat and open at the neck, so the shirt can be worn without a tie.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Buttoned straps on each shoulder are where military uniforms carry rank slides and insignia.
• Twin Flap Chest Pockets — Two patch pockets with pointed, buttoned flaps keep a pen, notebook or ID card secure.
• Full Button Front — A single row of light-colored buttons runs the length of the placket for a clean, conventional closure.
• Buttoned Cuffs — Long sleeves finish in single-button cuffs that can be fastened or rolled back.
• Genuine Military Issue — This is original French government-issue clothing, not a commercial copy, with a maker's label sewn inside the collar.

Issue Pattern And Fabric

The shirt follows the French service pattern, with epaulettes, flapped pockets and an open collar meant to sit under a uniform jacket or be worn alone in warmer weather. The poly-cotton blend is the kind of practical fabric armies choose for daily dress because it washes easily and needs little ironing. As original issue kit, it gives reenactors and collectors real provenance, and it gives everyday wearers a plain, sturdy shirt with authentic military detailing.
