Men's Olive Buttoned Epaulet Military Shirt$40.00
Get a vintage military look, without going back in time and enlisting...
My best guess as to why this seemingly normal military-issue shirt has had some funny changes, is that it may have been used as wardrobe for some sort of filming or production. It's your classic cotton drill, button down shirt (with hidden button placket!) in olive drab or army green shade. There are flat-felled seams and pleated patch breast pockets, along with epaulets. However, the traditionally matching olive drab buttons have been replaced with fancier, gold metal military style buttons at neck, cuffs, pockets and shoulders. There was also, initially, a red, black and gold ribbon trim makeshift epaulet cover on both epaulets but I removed them for the photographs and will include them with purchase (photos forthcoming). There are no labels or maker's marks (no clues!) and the overall condition is excellent, with no flaws to note, only the odd changes mentioned above.
Measurements:
- 15.5" across from shoulder to shoulder
- 25.5" sleeve length
- 32" chest
- 26" total length from shoulder to hem at side seam
