Original WWII USMC HBT shirt with khaki stitching, and an EGA (Eagle Globe & Anchor) stencil on pocket. The shirt have been modified in that the metal “13 star” buttons were removed from the cuffs and replaced with period plastic buttons.

- Shoulder to Cuff – 23 inches
- Top of Collar to Bottom Hem – 32 inches
- Shoulder to Shoulder – 22 inches
