Review: Excellent Heavy Duty Shirts For Around The House or Out In the Field - I bought a few a while back and have found them to be excellent field blouses (yes the army calls these shirts blouses), for wear around the house and am quite pleased I bought them. I'm wearing one now (not that I planed to). As to the weight of the blouse, I think I know why they seem so light weight to me. When the army switched to the camouflage Battle Dress Uniforms (BDU's is what they were called) around 1974 I think, these summer weight new issues are heavier than was the Vietnam blouse. Much to my surprise I found a pair of my old army issue utility trousers while going through some boxes over this past weekend (April 11/12, 2020) and they are 100% pure cotton. I was also pleased that they still fit. They are very light -- although these blouses are not the identical material it is very close otherwise they are a very good copy of the original. On a minor point, the left hand chest pocket has a hole across the top seam where you could keep two army issue pens. Mine only has space for one pen (and I still have two of these pens so I am sure of this point. I think civilians looking at it will not know the difference but I can tell. Sam, US Army 4th Infantry Division which operated in and around the Ia Drang Valley (two tours). So I'll keep the one I have but do not plan on buying another. If it was $25 instead of $42 I would be more likely to get another. I still haven't made my mind up yet as to whether or not I want to remove the patches/insignia from one of army issue camo blouses to put on this shirt. [And yes blouse is the term used by the army.) As to size, I'm 6' 2" & 215 Lbs. and the extra large size fits very well. One thing that comes with the shirt that might matter to some is an authentic dog tag with the company logo on it with a length of authentic army beaded chain (about 4" long) which is very similar to what we used to hang our second dog tag around the main chain. For those who have only ever seen dog tags on TV or in the movies -- we (almost) never wore our dog tags on the outside of any shirt we wore. This showing of dog tags is pure Hollywood. Those in battle areas always wrapped their dog tags with tape or something to keep them from making noise that would give away our position. Also, I like cigars and have found these make excellent smoking jackets. Finally, I do realize the men of good will have differing opinions on any subject. Sam 23 years in the regular army and reserves. Former Sergeant First Class

*by L***E on April 24, 2025*

I wear 4X in brand name shirts. I’ve had issues with clothing I bought from Amazon, so I sized up. It won’t button, but I bought it for an over shirt. Someone said it reminded him of the jungle fatigues in’Nam. I don’t think it’s a good tropical weight, but sleeves and pockets are pretty much the same. It seems durable. If you want a cargo shirt, this will work.
