USGI White Pillowcase

Army Issue Pillowcase

This is a USGI pillowcase (US Government Issue), the plain white bedding the US Army supplies for barracks bunks and cots. It covers a standard bed pillow in a cotton/polyester blend made for frequent institutional laundering. It suits anyone outfitting a bunk, a cabin or a camp cot, and reenactors and collectors who want the authentic item for a barracks display.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — Procured for US Army use, so it carries the provenance of real government-issue bedding.
• Cotton/Polyester Blend — Cotton gives a soft feel against the skin, and polyester adds strength so the fabric holds its shape through repeated washing.
• Tone-On-Tone Stripe Weave — A fine stripe is woven into the white cloth itself, giving the case a subtle texture without any printed pattern.
• Plain White Finish — The standard white color matches ordinary white sheets and pairs with any bedding set.
• Easy-Care Fabric — A poly-cotton blend is less prone to wrinkling and shrinking than all-cotton cloth.
• NSN 7210-01-458-7210 — Listed under this National Stock Number, the 13-digit code the US government uses to catalog every item in its supply system.

Original Specification

The case falls under Federal Supply Class 7210, the government category for household furnishings such as bedding. It was specified as a working item for barracks and field quarters, so the material choice favors durability and simple care. The NSN lets collectors and reenactors match it to the official supply record.
