T-SHIRT TO WEAR UNDER AN M-422A or A-2

damn you guys are rich :)

usually I just buy the $5 t-shirts from the local Target/K-Mart :)

I don't often put that much money in t-shirts neither, but there's a couple factor to take into consideration here:

1. I just plain liked the design and was hooked when I was shown the first draw before the t-shirts were even released
2. Quality and weight, as stated, is way above anything else I've handled.
3. Most importantly, in these times, I much prefer sending 55EUR to a friend that's trying to develop her own brand, designing everything herself, and having everything made in Europe than to give 5EUR to a multinational that doesn't need my money and manufactures in China or god knows where. Due to the Covid situation, her activity almost dropped to zero, and she's struggling very, very hard to keep it alive.

A bit late to the party here but I love the quality and look of these American made heavy weight Ts under an A-2 or A-1. Not many color options at this point but a very reasonable price for the product... It's refreshing to buy Made in USA high quality clothing instead the usual sources of cheap textiles and even cheaper labor. That's important to me.

I've just seen this thread. When it comes to T-shirts, it's plain white or black slim fit T-shirt from H&M for me, then I roll up the sleeves. My favorite one is an OD Tee from Primark I got for 3 GBP. There is no way I would pay 59 GBP for an ELC. I'm sure they're great and authentic, and I too like shorter sleeves, but to me it's not worth the price difference and the x20 multiplier.
Greg my wife buys me great t-shirts from C&A here in Spain, white, American style and fine ribbed cotton not like the cheap smooth baggy ones

Turns out, the design was very poorly applied, and it started peeling off within a few washes.

However, I bought this at the gift shop at the USS Midway in San Diego a few years ago, would be perfect with a WW2 jacket!

I wore this under my A2 yesyerday.
The museum is small but very good, dedicated to an amphibious training base in North Florida during WW2.
I grew up just over an hour's drive from this area.

I saw this on the old evilbay awhile back and had kept it on file.

I forget how much, but hundreds of dollars. I think it was maybe around $700? I wanna say???

..I *REally* REAAAALLLLY want someone to make a 'clone' reprint of this one!!

Five Star or Headwind could do it.

On Demand?

Should I inquire?

Just curious how much it might cost basically...Would be awesome.

I have a bunch of vintage shirts that are too rare to wear, that would be great to make copies someday.

It’s already been discussed here earlier in the thread but Josh of Josh’s Flight Jackets fame has a nice selection of era inspired tshirts available on demand from RedBubble. I’ve got a couple myself and I think they’re fantastic.
