US Navy Guantanamo Bay T-Shirt - excellent condition specifically the Bureau of ShipsThe t shirt had always been worn as an under garment, but during WW1 soldiers would write their unit names on them, and the modern printed t shirt was born! This continued in WW2, when services or units would have t shirts printed to build 'espirt de corps'. This is a great example dating to the WW2 to early postwar period and comes with an absolutely amazing US Navy print to the chest! Condition For an 80 year old t shirt this is in beautiful shape
