US Army Short Sleeve Button Down Shirt

Army Green Service Shirt

This is the US Army short sleeve button down shirt in the pale green-gray shade worn as part of the Army green service uniform. It is a warm-weather dress shirt, cut with a point collar, shoulder loops and two flapped chest pockets. Collectors, reenactors and anyone assembling an accurate period uniform will find the correct issue pattern here. It also works as a sturdy everyday shirt for people who like the clean military cut.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — The shirt was made for and issued by the US Army, so its cut, shade and details match the uniform it belongs to.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Mixing cotton with polyester gives a shirt that breathes like cotton and holds a press better than cotton alone.
• Shoulder Loops — A buttoned epaulet sits on each shoulder, which is where rank insignia attaches on the service uniform.
• Pleated Chest Pockets — Two chest pockets each have a center pleat for extra room and a buttoned flap to keep the contents in place.
• Point Collar — The sharp, structured collar lies neatly open at the neck or closed under a tie.
• Full Button Front — Plain plastic buttons run the length of the placket from collar to hem.
• Short Sleeves — The short sleeve cut is the warm-weather version of the service shirt.
• Government Spec Label — A yellow government label sewn at the front hem carries the garment's issue and care information.

Original Issue Pattern

The shirt follows the Army's own pattern for the service uniform, down to the shoulder loops, pocket layout and shade, so it sits correctly alongside the matching trousers and coat. Sizing is marked on the label inside the collar in the standard neck measurement used for dress shirts. Because it is issued kit, it gives a uniform the authenticity a commercial lookalike cannot.
