What a weird funny little world. All that money for a shirt which back in the day some poor grunt just wanted to get out of ASAP. At least the jackets look cool.

I am not jumping on the bash ELC band wagon, but must say I see original WWII shirts in good shape and decent sizes go unsold on ebay for under $60 all the time.

Itchy AF! Give me an ELC Rangoon Officer shirt any day. Officer shirts are better. Because Officers are better people!

In the slighter sizes. Have had a neatly folded Sigmund Eisner 15 1/2 x 33 OD Shirt, with cutter tags, in a sealed bag for 20 years.. Would want more than $60 for that.

Does that come with chips? Hahaha

Notice the sizes available for these reproductions. You'd pay much more than their price for an original as large as their larger sizes...

Most people in the wider community would say exactly what you are saying about a $1500 leather jacket too... you know that right?

Jeff, you have hit the nail on the head in terms of the irony my friend

They would. But most people can see how cool the jacket is. I don't think many think the shirt is cool ever. Just some of us.

Agree..

Not sure why they would have gone down this path... Will see of they sell out...

US Army WWII M37 Wool Shirt

Reproduction of the standard issue wool flannel shirt worn by all soldiers in the US Army throughout the conflict. Made from 70% woolen flannel, these are the best copies of the period shirts made today. Copied directly from authentic examples, these shirts look identical to the real things.

And here I am gnashing my teeth over wanting to spend $90.

If there was a good square-shoulder copy of the thick cotton oficer's tropical shirt in my size- I'd get it. They're very useful as actual shirts and you can wear them untucked as a kind of safari shirt. I actually buy Hard Yakka cotton shirts from Australia for this. They don't have epaulets but they look like the Steve Irwin shirt untucked.
