Crafted as a modern take on the classic N-3 shirt, this button-down combines heritage style with contemporary fit. Made from breathable cotton with a unique plain weave, it features short sleeves for warm weather. The utility remains intact with practical chest pockets and sturdy urea buttons. Ideal for casual outings or work, this shirt ensures minimal shrinkage with proper care. A lasting piece that pays homage to vintage military gear while offering versatility for today’s wardrobe.
From the brand: 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. This one also has short sleeves.
