Red Cross Shirt

Spanish Red Cross Tee

This white short-sleeve shirt carries the markings of the Cruz Roja, the Spanish Red Cross: a red band across the chest broken by a red cross, with the organization's name printed around the inside of the collar. It comes to us as Spanish government surplus, so it is the shirt itself rather than a costume piece made to look like one. Collectors of Spanish kit, reenactors building a medical or relief impression, and anyone who wants an unusual piece of issued gear will find it worth a look.

Features

• Red Cross Chest Stripe — A single red band runs straight across the upper chest and breaks around a red cross over the left side.
• Cruz Roja Neck Tape — The inner collar tape is printed with "Cruz Roja" and a repeating red cross, which identifies the shirt at a glance.
• White Body — The plain white shirt keeps the red markings clear and easy to recognize from a distance.
• Textured Knit Fabric — The body has a fine, open-textured knit of the kind used in athletic and training shirts.
• Crew Neck — A round, close-fitting collar sits comfortably at the base of the neck and layers under a jacket.
• Banded Short Sleeves — Each sleeve finishes in a turned cuff band for a neat edge.
• Pullover Cut — A straight T-shirt cut with no buttons or zips goes on and off quickly.
• Genuine Spanish Issue — Sourced from Spanish government stock, so the markings and construction are original to the shirt.

Original Spanish Issue

The Cruz Roja branding is part of the shirt as made, printed on the chest and on the collar tape, not added afterward. That provenance separates it from generic red-cross tees and gives it real value in a collection of Spanish surplus. The size is marked on the collar label, and several sizes are listed as separate options.
