*Pre-Order* WWII Jungle Sweater Reproduction

These are faithful reproductions of the super lightweight wool shirts that were officially called ‘Shirt, Wool, Knit, OD.’ P.Q.D. These have been made using the original WWII contract information from the US Army Quartermaster Corps.

The shirt was initially designed for Mountain Troops to be used as a replacement for the wool undershirt. It was added to the Jungle Clothing list in August 1942 along with several other items. It was to replace the blankets a soldier was issued to help keep them warm at night when sleeping. This shift from a mountain item to a jungle was exemplified in its common name in the GI vernacular: "Jungle Sweater.” These would see use throughout WWII and into the Vietnam War.

Jungle sweaters were designed to be worn as a base layer, close to the skin. The wool jersey stretches like a T-shirt or sweater. Please allow for a few inches of stretch when consulting the size chart.
