A faithful reproduction of the WWII British Army Officer’s service dress cotton shirt, worn beneath the battledress or khaki drill tunic from 1939–45. This shirt was standard issue for officers across all theatres — Europe, North Africa, and the Far East — and designed for both comfort and smart appearance in service and semi-formal use.
Made from tightly woven khaki cotton poplin (approx. 5.5–6 oz per square yard), the fabric is lightweight, breathable, and durable with a smooth matte finish — ideal for wear under wool or drill uniforms. The shirt features a soft pointed collar (for tie or open wear), button front placket, twin chest pockets with buttoned flaps, and button cuffs.
Perfect for WWII officers’ display, reenactment, or museum uniform sets, this shirt reproduces the exact pattern and cut of original British wartime tailoring. Great for films/movies/theater too, custom tailoring available.
