A beautiful example of the late World War Two issue British Army collared shirt clearly dated 1945.

This pattern of the shirt came into general issue in late 1945 to replace the earlier collarless shirt. British army dress regulations changed at this time to the wearing of a shirt and tie under battledress, hence the issue of these collar-attached shirts.

The label in this shirt is bright and fresh with all the markings being very clear. The label states that the shirt is a generous size 8 made by 'J K & S' in 1945. It also bares the War Department broad arrow or 'crow's foot' marking.

The condition of the shirt is fantastic and I think it is unlikely that it was ever issued. The wool is soft and there are no marks, no tears, and no signs of moth.
