Period repro
(2014-02-24)
Hey Gene USA/AL - yep it is "rough". Exactly what I would expect to be thrown by the stores wallah as you drew your kit in 1940.
Loose knit - it is going to shrink and there is a warning label to "Dry Clean only". I'm quite sure a careful hand wash in pure soap and stretch back to shape will work.
Yes big roll neck - roll twice, sleeves do fold back once. Waist - well it works for a modern "Regular" or "short" torso but won't work if you are a long torso.
BUT it is also true to period. Trousers were worn high on the waist and this would have overlapped perfectly in 1940. If you are re-enacting. It is just fine.
