ITALIAN OFF WHITE UNDERSHIRT LIKE NEW

An original-issue piece of Italian military cold-weather kit, this Italian Off-White Undershirt is the long-sleeve base layer that was issued to soldiers for wear under uniform shirts and field jackets. With its wool-rich blend, classic crew neckline, and ribbed cuffs, it's the kind of authentic, no-nonsense thermal layer your customers won't find on the high street — and a strong addition to any surplus, outdoor, or workwear assortment.

Genuine Italian Military Surplus

This is the real thing — original Italian armed forces issue, complete with interior contract labelling visible at the neck. It is not a reproduction or modern remake. Each piece has come through the surplus channel in like-new condition, meaning your retail customer gets authentic provenance without the heavy field wear that often accompanies surplus garments. That combination — genuine issue plus clean condition — is exactly what collectors, reenactors, and surplus enthusiasts look for.

Fabric & Construction

• 51% wool, 39% cotton, 10% polyamide blend — wool-led for warmth and natural moisture management, cotton for next-to-skin comfort, polyamide for shape retention and durability
• Lightweight knit construction that layers easily under shirts, fleeces, and field jackets
• Classic round (crew) neckline that sits cleanly under collared garments
• Long sleeves finished with ribbed knit cuffs that grip the wrist and seal in warmth
• Ribbed crew collar holds its shape after repeated wear and laundering
• Natural off-white / ecru colourway — the original undyed military issue tone

Who It's For

This shirt sells across several customer types. Hunters, hikers, and campers reach for wool-blend base layers when temperatures drop because wool keeps insulating even when damp. Preppers and bushcrafters value natural-fibre layers that resist odour over multi-day wear. Reenactors and military collectors want authentic Italian-issue pieces with the correct cut and labelling. And the fashion-aware end consumer will spot the appeal of an undyed, slightly oversized vintage thermal worn as a layering tee under flannels, overshirts, or workwear jackets.

Sizing & Care

Cut to a traditional military undershirt pattern with a generous body length to stay tucked in during movement. Refer to the supplied size chart and recommend buyers handle wool-blend garments gently — cool wash, no tumble dry — to preserve the fit and fabric loft.
