The Greyback Shirt was standard issue for British soldiers from the late 19th century through 1945, used in the Anglo-Boer War, the Great War, and the Second World War. Made from grey flannel or brushed cotton, it provided warmth, breathability, and comfort in both campaign and garrison conditions.
This reproduction features the traditional pale grey brushed flannel body, with a short stand collar, three-button half placket, and reinforced cuffs with single button closure. The shirt is long-cut for tucking, with a loose, functional fit ideal for wear under service dress or battle dress. Its design remained virtually unchanged for over fifty years, reflecting its proven practicality.
