This shirt is made from cellular cotton which is often referred to as 'Aertex'. It is a lightweight, breathable fabric ideally suited to the tropics ad was popular with the British military during WW2 and the post-war period.

The shirt features a full button front, pleated chest pockets, epaulettes and long sleeves. Inside the shirt the original label is still present and is bright and legible. It states the maker as 'Ladybird N.I.' who were a prolific manufacturer of shirts for the British Forces during this period.
