The classic and instantly recognizable pattern of a service shirt is a longtime staple of militaries around the world. This Belgian service shirt comes in a set of tasteful characteristics that don’t scream “I am wearing surplus” or “I am going into combat”.
The light yet durable Cotton-Poly blend ensures you won't get too hot or be prone to snag-induced tears like a normal dress shirt, and the sandy khaki colorway makes it easy to match with the rest of your wardrobe. Like standard service shirts, it features two front button-fastened pockets and buttoned epaulets. The collar, epaulets, and pocket flaps are all slightly stiff like a normal dress shirt to keep you looking sharp.
Sizing
This is certainly one of our more “dressy” shirts. Due to that, the sizing is how a typical dress shirt is sized, using the diameter of your neck in centimeters. Grab a friend with a tailor’s tape or use a string and mark it to the best of your ability to determine sizing (in centimeters). When you get it right, these will fit very well.
For reference, our model is 6' 0", 170lbs, with a chest size of 38 inches and a neck measurement of 38cm. He wears a Size 38.

Shirts are unissued; still sealed in factory original packaging.

Crisply Creased, wee bit Rusted Shut
Received promptly. Very crisp in packaging. Sized well based on neck measure. Only points of concern were 2 of the 6 pins rusted holding the shirt in it's folded state. One point rusted at the tip. The other at the head. Both well bonded to the shirt fabric. After forcefully pushing the pins out there were only two small rust spots in obscure positions on the shirt. Looks fine.
Nice dress shirt
I wear a 2XL in US but can get away with an XL, unfortunately this shirt was a little too small for me to wear buttoned up (Belgians are notoriously smaller than Americans) but I can wear it as an over shirt just fine. Still happy with it for sure
It looks good materials not the greatest
It worked perfectly for airsoft, encapsulating that British occupied Mesopotamia feel I just wish the material was a little more comfortable like all cotton instead it's polyester.
Looks great.
Feels and looks great, just look out for rusty pins.
Rusted pins
Fit well, however some of the pins holding the shirt in it's folded position had rusted. Washed out fine, just a chore to unpack.
