Navy Cotton Twill Two-Pocket USMC Shirt

Navy Cotton Twill Two-Pocket USMC Shirt

Originally issued to the U.S. Marine Corps as a hard-wearing utility garment, the USMC shirt was designed for durability, functionality, and ease of movement in demanding conditions. Details such as the chamfered pocket edges were developed to reduce wear at stress points and to stop corners catching or fraying, a practical solution that became a defining visual signature of the style.

This updated version stays true to the original, made in robust navy cotton twill with a subtle stretch for comfort. Features include a traditional 7-button front, two-button cuffs, twin front chamfered-edge patch pockets, and a side gusset for strength and mobility. Cut from 100% cotton twill, it’s a timeless piece of military-inspired workwear with lasting appeal.
