US Army M1951 Wool Field Shirts

These are a great piece of kit that have stood the time for good reason! First issued to American GIs in 1951, these field shirts proved to be an incredible asset to the fighting man in the frigid cold of Korea. Having earned it's reputation as a critical piece of cold weather gear immediately upon it's adoption, these field shirts would continue to see a service life well into the 1980s. 

These shirts were uniquely designed to be reworked with additional fabric to additional length as needed based on the height of each individual soldier. They are cut to be more form fitting than other contemporary uniform components and allow the wearer a great deal of mobility without being too baggy and bulky. They also feature a less itchy 80-20 wool-nylon mix which allows the wearer to a very strong insulating layer without compromising comfort. The two large buttoned pockets are the cherry on top, allowing you to fit all your field goodies within. Workable as a stand alone shirt and excellent as an insulating layer, these shirts are spectacular.
