USMC Contract Sage Green Sateen Shirt | USAF History | Size 15/33 | Rare
Description
A fascinating oddity for military collectors. This is a Cotton Sateen Field Shirt in the distinctive Sage Green colorway, typically associated with the US Air Force in the 1950s and 60s.
-
The Label: The internal tag marks this as procured by the MARINE CORPS SUPPLY ACTIVITY (Spec MIL-S-4336B), which is highly unusual for a Sage Green item.
-
The Provenance: The sleeves feature distinct dark "ghost marks" or shadows where patches were removed. The shape of these shadows clearly indicates USAF chevrons were worn, proving this shirt was issued to an Airman despite the USMC contract.
-
Condition: Used vintage condition with authentic character.
