This N-3 shirt, designed for utility and comfort, features a custom plain-weave fabric that offers breathability suitable for warmer climates. With a contemporary fit and precision craftsmanship, it retains the classic style of military design while providing a modern silhouette. The shirt showcases a distinct 'U.S.N.' stencil on the chest pocket, paying homage to its historical roots. Ideal for casual wear or layered outfits, this piece bridges vintage appeal with everyday functionality.
From the brand: ***NOTE: The current stock of these shirts has "U.S.N." stenciled on the left chest pocket.
The N-3 shirt was part of the "N" system of special purpose clothing (the N-1 Deck Jacket being the most notable) developed by the Navy in late WW2. This shirt is a plain weave cotton, suitable for the heat of the Pacific Theatre, and due to the high volume produced, continued to be issued all the way through Vietnam.
The N-3 shirt replaced the chambray shirt, and has every bit of the utility of that garment. This reproduction has been trimmed up to a more contemporary fit, losing the long tails typical of the era.
