A military chambray shirt made by BIG YANK, reminiscent of the US NAVY vintage chambray shirt.

14693
"M43 SHIRTS CHAMBRAY" is an item that reconstructed the US NAVY chambray shirt from the 1940s through the filter of BIG YANK.

Big Yank is a workwear brand, so why make military wear? That's because Reliance, which manufactured the Big Yank, was a regular supplier of US military munitions clothing.
Reliance, which has many own factories and was famous for the quality of the Big Yank brand, has been undertaking the manufacture of combat uniforms for the US military since World War I. Against this background, the story of developing military wear under the Big Yank brand was completed and released.
