KHAKI SHIRT L/S (MODIFY)
DESCRIPTION
- The KHAKI SHIRT L/S (MODIFY), also known as the Officer's shirt, is crafted from high-twist yarn cotton twill.
- The full-button front is secured with nut buttons.
- This silhouette is a more casual, contemporary update on vintage Officer’s shirts that is slightly shorter in overall length allowing for more versatile styling and the option to wear untucked.
- Many khaki officer shirts featured epaulettes, which served to indicate rank and secure equipment such as shoulder belts.
- These shirts were standard issue for all Army and Air Corps personnel throughout the war.
- Early in the conflict, particularly in the Pacific theater, "Khakis" were used as the warm-weather field and combat uniform until they were replaced by HBT uniforms, such as the M-38 shirt.
- The khaki color associated with this shirt has a history that begins with the British Indian Army of the 1800s.
- Similar to American soldiers fighting in the Spanish-American War, the British military was equipped with a uniform that could not withstand the sweltering climates.
- Sir Harry Lumsden, the founder of the Corps of Guides in India, and his subaltern William Hudson are credited with first introducing the khaki field uniform to the British Army.
- Lord Napier referred to the Corps of Guides as "the only properly dressed light troops in India." This initial khaki uniform was made from either twill linen or cotton in a drab brown that blended into the environment.
- The word "khaki" itself comes from Urdu, meaning 'dust-colored.' This khaki uniform would eventually be adopted by all regiments, either in service or summer dress.
- The khaki shirts came in various shades, and this particular one is representative of those worn in the Pacific.
- Archival images show these shirts being worn in places like Tarawa, often paired with khaki pants such as the TROUSERS, COTTON, KHAKI, 1941.
