The t-shirt had always been worn as an under garment, but during WW1 soldiers would write their unit names on them, and the modern printed t-shirt was born! This continued in WW2, when services or units would have t-shirts printed to build 'espirt de corps'. This is a great example dating to the WW2 to early postwar period and comes with an absolutely amazing US Navy print to the chest!
Condition
For an 80 year old t-shirt this is in beautiful shape and seems only lightly used. There is some yellowing and stains, and the odd knick, but largely great.
