This middy is terrific. I took a chance with Rit color fixative. Not too effective, but I was able to run the excess blue out with cold water and a large sink with hand-held faucet. It worked for me, but I had to scrub a bit of bleed from the sleeve where the color fix overlapped onto the white. In any event, I'm now able to wash in cold water, with a bit of oxy bleach, so the rating and other sew-ons are blended, air dry, and then give it a good ironing. It's going to look great in our local museum with the McQueen dixie cup screwed on.

Excellent repro, the bottom needed tailoring in to fit properly more my shape than the top as I have wide shoulders and chest with narrower waist but easy to do by any competent tailor. I have normal sized wrists and the cuffs fit fine getting my hand through easy with them buttoned up. All in all a very nice interwar sand pebbles style uniform for the Steve McQueen look, “the uniform gets em every time”
