U.S.N. REVERSIBLE T-SHIRT Size:M reflecting wartime efforts to simplifyProduced in 6. 5 oz cotton jersey, the U. S. N. Reversible T Shirt is an early U. S. Navy issue athletic undershirt of the 1940s. The garment is finished in navy on one face and yellow gold on the reverse, with plain weave cotton size labels sewn at both necklines so the shirt may be worn in either orientation without compromising size identification. Early examples featured rib knit cuffs at the sleeves a detail that was absent from later production
