Italian Army Wool Blend Shirt

Italian Issue Base Layer

This long sleeve shirt was issued by the Italian Army and is cut to be worn next to the skin as a warm first layer under uniform shirts, sweaters and jackets. The knit combines wool for warmth with cotton for a softer feel against the body. It suits anyone who wants a plain, practical thermal layer for cold days outdoors, and collectors who want genuine Italian military kit rather than a commercial copy.

Features

• Cotton And Wool Blend — Wool brings insulation, while the cotton content softens the fabric so it sits comfortably against bare skin.
• Fine Knit Fabric — The close, stretchy knit follows the body, which keeps warmth in and lets it slide under other layers without bunching.
• Crew Neck Collar — A ribbed band finishes the round neckline so it sits close and stays out of the way under a collared shirt.
• Long Ribbed Cuffs — Deep knit cuffs grip the wrists to stop cold air working up the sleeves and to keep them from riding up under gloves.
• Full Length Sleeves — The sleeves run to the wrist for complete arm coverage as an undershirt.
• Natural Cream Color — The undyed, off-white shade is the plain finish typical of military-issue underwear.
• Straight Hem — The body ends in a simple hem long enough to tuck into trousers.
• Genuine Italian Army Issue — This is original government-issued clothing, with a manufacturer's label sewn inside the neck.

Built For Layering

Armies issue undershirts like this to keep soldiers warm under the rest of the uniform, so the design stays simple: a close knit, a crew neck and cuffs that seal at the wrist. A wool and cotton base layer holds warmth well and suits hiking, hunting, camping, or a cold workshop as much as field use. Reenactors and collectors of Italian military clothing will also find it a genuine piece of issue kit.
