  • SIZING/FIT
  • The SNIPES Shirt comes RAW/unwashed.
  • We recommend this usual protocol before wearing:
  • Cold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.
  • Hang until fully dry.
  • CL'S Advice: I personally opted for a MEDIUM for a comfortable fit.
  • I am 5.7’’ approx. 150 Lbs., and although the SMALL did fit with more of a trim uniform silhouette, it was a bit too tight in the chest.
  • Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements.
  • CARE
  • Hang dry.
  • Wash with similarly-colored garments.
  • Do not use the washer’s heavy-duty cycle.
  • Heat dryer is also not recommended and may result in excessive shrinkage.
  • STORY
  • The pattern of the MF® SNIPES is inspired by the earliest model of US Army full button front uniform shirt.
  • Identified as Specs “No. 8-26C Shirt, Flannel, Olive-Drab, Coat Style” by the Quartermaster Corps, it was introduced sometime in 1933 and issued to US Army and Air Corps personnel and FDR’s CCC enrollees alike.
  • This new uniform shirt pattern was deemed “Coat Style”, marking a practical departure from its predecessor, the mustard color pullover wool shirt commonly associated with WW1 Doughboys.
  • The overall design was borrowed from civilian workwear, back when the making of workwear garments bordered on fancy tailoring prowess.
  • This is definitely an intricate pattern by today’s utilitarian clothing standards.
  • Besides the full six-button front placket improvement, the characteristics of the early 8-26C shirt included a one-piece unstructured collar (no collar band), a singular style of elbow reinforcement patch, and two large utilitarian chest pockets each with pen compartments.
  • Blending 1930s US Army uniform shirt design with mil-specs fabric, this original MF® shirt needed a new moniker.
  • Because of the strong vintage naval utility work shirt vibe, we went for SNIPES.
  • The term refers to US Navy enlisted personnel working in the engine room, the “sailors that sail below”, also known as “Black Gang” for their grease-covered blues and dixie cup covers.
  • See Machinist’s Mate Jake Holman’s dungarees for a Hollywood rendition.
