Unlike British shirts, it was made from heavy drill instead of Aertex. This one is custom made to the original pattern, not the commercial work shirts being sold elsewhere.
What material is the shirt made from?
The shirt is made from heavy drill fabric. This differs from British shirts of the period, which were typically made from Aertex. The material is 100% cotton. It is a tough and hard-wearing fabric.
What is the colour of the shirt?
The shirt is a rather yellow khaki colour. This colour is described as brilliant by some. It is possible for the khaki colour to fade with wear.
How does the shirt fit in the body and sleeves?
The shirt is cut perfectly, with identical construction to original garments. It has side pieces cut out as per the original design, which means it will require high-waisted trousers. The armpit area can be a little form-fitting, especially after drying.
How does the shirt fasten?
The shirt does not button all the way down the front. This design means the belly will not hang out during wear. It is easy to put on, but can be a two-person job to pull off.
How durable is the shirt?
The shirt is tough and hard-wearing. It has been described as "Borneo proofed" after surviving use in jungles. It is expected to rust before it wears out, indicating its robust construction.
How does this reproduction compare to original garments?
The shirt is an excellent copy and is well-designed, with identical construction to original garments. The buttons, material, colour, and cut are all considered spot on. It is a good reproduction of the issue KD shirt.
