This is the standard issue enlisted man's
shirt from the earlier campaigns of WWII. Eventually this style of
shirt was replaced by another OD flannel shirt with an open collar style
called the Convertible Collar shirt (shown below). By the Normandy invasion in
the summer of 1944 the CC style shirt had replaced most of the M37 style
shirts, though many M37 shirts were still being used up to the end of
WWII. The M37 shirt does retain a much sharper appearance
when wearing a coat and tie due to the two-piece collar and stand and front and
cuff button plaquets design. This shirt does NOT include a gas
flap.
Our OD wool shirts are soft and comfortable! Indeed many of our
customers were pleasantly surprised how our custom woven high quality
100% wool can feel so very soft to the touch. Buttons are durable
solid cast melamine and all seams are stitched with pride using 100%
cotton thread. We also include a beautifully replicated QM
inspector tag.
This shirt design fits snug. If in doubt order up one size to
assure room in the body.
Price $110.00 each.
Cotton twill ties
Made authentically short just like original GI ties
Price $10.00 each.

Shirt, Flannel, OD, Convertible Collar
|
This is the standard issue enlisted man's
shirt from the mid to later campaigns of WWII. Eventually this style of
shirt replaced the earlier M37 OD flannel shirt. In contrast to
the earlier shirt, the CC shirt offer better protection when the soldier
was exposed to dangerous gases while on the battlefield.
Additional flaps along the front opening and cuff gussets were installed
to cover exposed skin areas. In many instances the flaps were
removed by soldiers for sake of comfort. We included them in order
to offer an authentic replica.
The fit of this shirt pattern is very roomy. Indeed this shirt was
"boxy" in comparison to the M37 shirt and the collar is not as sharp
when wearing a coat or Ike Jacket and tie. By the end of WWII this design
was by far the most common pattern worn by enlisted men.
Our OD wool shirts are soft and comfortable! Indeed many of our

100% wool can feel so very soft to the touch. Buttons are durable
