French Navy White Toulon Dress Shirt

French Navy White Shirt

This is a short-sleeve white dress shirt issued to the French Navy, made for warm-weather duty and summer uniform wear. It wears open at the neck with no tie, so it suits hot days when a full dress shirt would be too much. Collectors, reenactors and anyone building a French naval uniform will want it, and it also works as a crisp everyday shirt with a military cut.

Features

• Open Camp Collar — The collar lies flat and open at the neck, so the shirt is meant to be worn without a tie.
• Polyester-Cotton Blend — The sewn-in label reads 65% polyester and 35% cotton, a mix that resists creasing better than pure cotton and stays easy to wash.
• Buttoned Shoulder Straps — Epaulettes, the fabric straps across each shoulder, button down at the collar end and are where naval rank insignia slide on.
• Twin Pleated Chest Pockets — Two patch pockets with a center box pleat close under pointed flaps, each fastened with a single button.
• Short Sleeves — Plain hemmed sleeves end above the elbow for comfort in heat.
• Side Vents At The Hem — Short reinforced slits at each side seam let the shirt sit neatly whether tucked or worn loose.
• Back Yoke Construction — A separate panel across the upper back gives the shoulders a cleaner fit.
• Genuine French Navy Issue — This is government-issued uniform clothing with original French-language labeling inside the collar.

Issue Specification

The shirt is cut to French service pattern in plain white, with a five-button front and matching white buttons throughout. The French label inside the neck gives the fabric content and size in French military sizing, so check the size marking against your usual measurements before ordering. As issued kit, it carries the real cut and details of a French naval uniform shirt, which matters to anyone assembling an accurate uniform.
