A faithful reproduction of the WWII British Army Cellular Aertex Shirt, the lightweight khaki drill shirt worn by British and Commonwealth troops in North Africa, Italy, and the Far East. Made from breathable cellular cotton (Aertex weave), it was introduced as part of the tropical service uniform in the early 1940s and prized for its comfort in hot climates.
This reproduction features the open lapel collar for wear with or without a tie, two pleated chest pockets with button flaps, and long sleeves with button cuffs. The shirt’s distinctive cellular texture provided ventilation and rapid drying, making it ideal for desert and jungle operations.
Perfect for WWII reenactors, collectors, or museum display, this is an exact replica of the original issued Aertex shirt used by officers and enlisted men alike.
