Dickies 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.

We've been buying this as our standard work shirt for our crew. It is one of the most durable and the dark gray is a good color since it doesn't show the daily dirt and grease too much. The flap over the pocket keeps debris out of it. Will continue to purchase.
