This shirt we found housed in a
museum in Illinois. It displays the classic characteristics of the
square cut "QM" shirt with variation. It is a T-neck with gussets however it
lacks shoulder reinforcements. The collar is also smaller and similar to a
civilian style. The chest opening exhibits the simple fold and tack though it
has two extra buttons on the placket which are original to the production of
the garment. It is all hand-sewn from white Domet flannel fabric. Perhaps the
most interesting detail of the shirt is the left sleeve is actually a two piece
with a 3 inch wide strip making up the second part. This is a great example of
the measures taken to conserve cloth. Our reproduction follows the pattern of
the original (except for
the piecing in the sleeve).
