What is the material of the shirt?

The shirt is made from a thin cotton poplin fabric. This material is suitable for wear in hot weather. It is also thin enough to be worn comfortably under a wool tunic. The fabric weight is lighter than expected by some.

How should I choose my size for this shirt?

The shirt generally runs small and shrinks after washing. It is recommended to order at least one size larger than your normal size. For a roomier fit, ordering two sizes up is suggested. The sizing chart provided should be checked carefully against your measurements.

What is the colour of the shirt?

The shirt's colour is described as a coppery brown or mustard brown, sometimes appearing almost orange. It is not always like the colour shown in the product picture. After a few washes, the colour may mute to a British khaki.

How many buttons does the shirt have?

The shirt features four buttons. This detail distinguishes it as a reproduction of a privately purchased garment. Original private purchase shirts varied from the regulation pattern in this way.

How should I care for the shirt after washing?

The shirt may shrink after washing, even with damp drying. It is recommended to iron the shirt while it is still a bit damp. This helps it to look great after washing.
