An absolutely killer t-shirt, and in great condition. These are known in collecting circles as 'UDT' shirts as they would become well know for being worn by Navy Seals in Vietnam. However, this particular example is a little older, from the 40s. Likely this would not have been worn by a UDT team, but would have been worn for US Navy training. It still has the size labels on both the yellow and blue side (a sign this one is a genuine 1940s Navy one, unlike some I've seen listed recently by others), and was reportedly made by Champion though the labels more closely resemble the tags used by Wilson at the time.
Condition
Used but solid. A few small knicks in the fabric, but nothing to be overly concerned about.
