During World War II, thousands of American women served in the armed forces through units such as the Women’s Army Corps (WAC). They were issued uniforms specifically tailored to their roles, including this HBT shirt, used in clerical, logistical, and technical duties. The shirt represents the growing importance and professional presence of women in military service during the war.
Sizes: The actual sizes of the shirt are given as they are laid out flat so you will need to allow extra space for
clothing to be worn underneath. Chest size is measured from under arm to under arm. Sleeve length has been
measured from the top of the shoulder seam to the cuff of the sleeve.
