Canadian Pattern Khaki Drill Shirt

The shirt is cut on the tight side, particularly in the armpit area. It is advisable to order one or two sizes larger than your usual size for a comfortable fit. While the body size increases with each size, the arm length and neck size appear to remain consistent across different sizes. Measuring your chest over any intended underlayers is recommended.

The shirt is a khaki colour. It is not as yellow as some website pictures suggest, and it almost matches coyote or Flat Dark Earth coloured gear. The colour is described as very nice.

The shirt is designed with sleeve tabs and buttons. However, some shirts have been received with missing cuff buttons or missing sleeve retaining straps. The length of the sleeve tabs can also vary, with some being significantly longer than others.

Some shirts have been received with missing cuff buttons or missing sleeve retaining straps. The sleeve openings can be a bit smaller than expected, even when ordering a size up. The tabs for the sleeves can also be of different lengths on the same shirt.

This is a reproduction of the khaki drill shirt issued to Canadian forces with summer uniforms. It is copied from a scarce original garment. The shirt is suitable for a French Indochina impression or with colonial police shorts.

The cotton is a good, heavy weight. It is probably even heavier than the original garments. The dense weave contributes to its soft feel and superb quality.
