U.S. ARMY MAN'S FATIGUE COMBAT SHIRT (WW2048)

• No Spec or Size or Manufacturer Tags
• One (1) Army Cotton Sateen Utility LS COMBAT Shirt
• OG-107  (Olive Green, shade 107)
• Standard Issue POST World War II Era - this COMBAT Fatigue Shirt came after the HBT Jacket/Shirt with the Metal 13 Star Buttons and is Part of the "UTILITY UNIFORM (Shirt and Pants)" introduced in 1952 (KOREAN WAR Era) as replacement for the earlier HBT Fatigues. Then this shirt was replaced by the IMPROVED COTTON SATEEN Design in 1963 during the VIETNAM War
• "... During the Korean war, some units directed soldiers to sew WHITE NAME TAPES and/or “US Army” onto their uniforms, though it was never universal.  In 1953, the Secretary of the Army made the wearing of  “US Army” official on uniforms, as a result of negotiations for the end of hostilities with the North Koreans..."
• WHITE NAME TAPE is still in this shirt - see photo # 9 (too faded to read)
