Like their long-sleeved brothers, the SADF short sleeve shirts are a great companion in and out of town—the Nutria brown cotton-polyester fabric blend wears very hard, hides dirt and grime, and excels at keeping the sun at bay. Based on the info printed on the tags, these shirts are from the very last years of the Border War (1990s). This may explain why they were never issued and are still in their original packaging.
Each shirt has two pockets with box pleats, perfect for storing small items like papers, tissues, pens, or an embarrassing amount of Pokémon games. The pocket buttons are hidden under out flaps, protecting you from snagging on vegetation or loose gear and looking like a freak who leaves his pocket buttons out in the open for everyone to see.

Sizing
These fit true to most standard military field shirts — If you know your American t-shirt size, it'll be spot on with a little wiggle room due to the fact that the Saffies liked to cut their uniforms generously.
While they don't specify length in their sizing system, these do tend to run longer at the hem to allow for ease of tucking in to their respective uniform pants.
Condition
The long sleeve shirts are in unissued condition, often with their original packaging. Keep an eye out for pins that may have been used to hold the shirt together in a tidy fashion!
