Dickies Mens and Big Men's Original Fit Long Sleeve Twill Work Shirt

I actually bought this because it is the closest thing I can find to a dark blue long sleeve uniform shirt that I wore in the U. S. Air Force back in the 70s and 80s. The shirt was designated as 1549 Dark Blue Men's Shirt. The only difference is that the Dickies shirt has no shoulder epaulets and is Polyester/Cotton blend where the uniform shirt was Wool/Cotton blend. I needed it to attend the funeral of an Unaccompanied Air Force Veteran's Funeral where his only surviving relative could not attend. I was asked to receive his burial flag on her behalf which I was honored to do.

I wanted to get a Red Shirt so I could support the group of people who wear Red shirts on Fridays to show support for our troops. I only wear two pocket shirts. I found this shirt in English Red on the Dickies website. I've worn Dickies and know their quality is good. The shirt is good and the color is excellent. The only thing missing is a Pencil Slot.
