WW1 Australian Khaki Drill shirt & shorts (Reproduction)
Our reproduction set represents the lightweight tropical service dress shirt issued to Australian Imperial Force (AIF) troops during the First World War, especially in Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and the Middle East. Designed for hot climates, the khaki drill tunic and shorts offered comfort and ventilation while retaining the smart appearance of the standard service dress.
Our shirt is constructed from light khaki cotton , with 2 top front pockets, long roomy sleeves, cuff closure with 1 button, front placket 3 button closure and long cut to tuck into shorts or KD trousers.
The shorts are cut from the same khaki drill, with high waist, button fly, and belt loops, providing a practical fit for tropical service. They taper just above the knee and are reinforced with sturdy stitching for durability.
This set is an essential representation of the ANZAC summer and tropical uniform, perfect for reenactors, collectors, and museums seeking historical authenticity.
