1980s | The Australian Army | Short Sleeve Service Shirt – Khaki - S/M

Description:

Item: Australian Army short sleeve service shirt in khaki, button front with twin chest pockets and classic uniform cut. Finished with original unit/qualification patches to the sleeves, giving it the proper in-service look rather than a stripped surplus feel.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Australian Army / Military issue

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear. Fabric remains strong and clean overall, buttons secure, and patches firmly attached. Minor signs of use only, consistent with age and service wear.

Provenance note: Australian Army khaki shirts have a distinct, crisp silhouette and a slightly smarter uniform feel than many US equivalents, especially when they retain original insignia. It’s a simple piece, but the details and provenance do the heavy lifting: a genuine service garment with real history, and an easy, wearable crossover for collectors and everyday wear.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
