SNIPES Shirt comes RAW\/unwashed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe recommend this usual protocol before wearing:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHang until fully dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCL'S Advice: I personally opted for a MEDIUM for a comfortable fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlease refer to sizing chart for approximate raw\/soaked measurements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHang dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWash with similarly-colored garments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use the washer’s heavy-duty cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat dryer is also not recommended and may result in excessive

shirt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdentified 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe overall design was borrowed from civilian workwear, back when the making of workwear garments bordered on fancy tailoring prowess.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis is definitely an intricate pattern by today’s utilitarian clothing standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBesides 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlending 1930s US Army uniform shirt design with mil-specs fabric, this original MF® shirt needed a new moniker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBecause of the strong vintage naval utility work shirt vibe, we went for SNIPES.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n
