An original early war HBT Tunic/Shirt.  This is the First Pattern, which is a shorter garment than the later HBT shirts, with the hem sitting around the waist.  Note the double button enclosure at the bottom of the front closure.  Tunic is in a grubby condition, has a couple of light paint marks, as many veterans would use their wartime uniforms in the post-war years for DIY etc.  Does not spoil the garment however and are barely noticeable.  No rips and all 13-star buttons are present.  Perfect for that grubby GI look. Label is present, but has been washed out.

Not size marked but measured by hand as follows:

Pit to pit - 25", so around a 48" chest

Waist - 23"

Shoulder seam to cuff - 25"

Shoulder to shoulder - 19"
