This is not an original item, but a remake made as true to original form as possible. All our sewing is done by a team of a Vietnam veteran and an Afghanistan veteran. My remakes are all made either with government issue shirts or quality commercial ones like Tru-Spec and Propper that are also of the correct era and style that were actually utilized, we work very hard to source good quality shirts to makes these from. This item started with a new shirt that had never been worn.These shirts are modified from original style shirts, they are not made this way from the factory. As a result there will be marks from stitching where the lower pockets were removed, including thinner areas of fabric where the bar tack stitching was on the edges of the stitch lines. Sometimes if the area was weakened too much by the removal of the bar tack stitches we reinforce the area with some adding stitching, as was done when these mods were done originally and this issue encountered. This is not a defect, it is the normal appearance of an actual modified shirt like this. The stitching marks typically fade away and become much less noticeable after some wear and a couple of washings.
Picture is representative of the item you will get and not the exact same shirt, as I am selling multiple of each size.Because these are modern reproductions and not original pieces with collector value they are ideal for wear as OPFOR, for reenacting, for MILSIM and airsoft, and other uses where you don't want to risk damaging an actual collectable piece. To prevent them from being later confused for original items, intentionally or by accident, under the pocket flap we stencil our business initials. This cannot be seen when worn and do not change the appearance of the item at all, but it helps preserve the integrity of the collectors market for actual combat worn items.Be sure to check my other listings for more items like this you may also like!
