Speidy Posted May 6, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 6, 2013 Hi, I've heard that it was common for a soldier to line their shirt's collar with material to help with shafting, but oddly enough I've never seen a shirt in person with this modification. I did a quick search and nothing popped up. Does anyone have a shirt like this that they wouldn't mind showing? I wanted to try this on a repro shirt. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted May 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 6, 2013 Officer's shirts routinely had rayon-lined collars. If it's an EM's shirt it would have been added, or else a superior quality private purchase example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted May 18, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 18, 2013 Not a shirt, but i recently got rid of what i think was a slightly prewar marine dress blue jacket with a dark Navy blue velvet lined collar. Crudely done, probably did it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
