Good price on this shirt. Very well made, nice fabric too. Fits well (true to size, and is a bit oversized/cut slightly large which is good). It's not 100% wool (in my opinion a good thing) and may have something like 15% nylon in it, and the buttons are off just a bit, but it doesn't detract from the shirt and they can always been replaced. And, as always, fastest shipping ever.

Excellent M1883 Shirt
(2016-01-26)
In the first few years of the 1880s, the US Army changed the issue shirt almost every year. They finally settled on the M1883, which was just about the perfect field shirt. The M1883 was the issue shirt for the next 20 years, until the Army abandoned blue for their campaign clothing (the M1883 was still around as late as the 1936 Spanish Civil War, when it was worn by the Abraham Lincoln Brigade). What Price Glory's repro of the M1883 as perfect a repro as one can expect, and is completely worth the price. This is the only authorized shirt for my Philippine-American War reenacting unit, the 1st Tennessee/37th U.S.V.
