About this item

An original British made woolen undershirt dating from the Second World War.

This undershirt originally belonged to a leading aircraftman who served during the Second World War. It came as part of his kit which has been stored since the war and is therefore a guaranteed wartime item. 

The construction of the undershirt is typical of the period. It is made from an oatmeal coloured wool which is machine made. It features a round neck and three button fastening which is often referred to as 'Henley' today. The front opening is made from khaki coloured brushed cotton which is very soft to the touch. It fastens with stamped zinc buttons of the style often found on early war manufactured shirts. 

The original owner has marked his name and number to the inside of the shirt which reads '1017195 Payne'. 

The top is a smaller size which will suit someone of around a 36" chest. When laid flat it measures - 

Chest - 18"
Shoulders - 19"
Length - 29 1/2"

The item is in good condition with signs of wear and use. There are a few small holes as shown in the pictures but overall it displays well. Please study the pictures and bear in mind that this is a pre-worn vintage item which has small issues commensurate with age. 

A nice original example which is guaranteed to be wartime!  

This is a vintage item which is 'sold as seen'
