Construction: what the shirt features

Front button closure runs from the collar almost to the hem, making it easy to unbutton in hot weather. Two chest pockets are secured with flaps: convenient for keeping documents, a small notebook, or pen without fear of losing them. The notched collar allows you to wear it both buttoned and open.

How to wear it: tactical clothing for everyday use

The olive shade pairs easily with sand, coyote, black, and gray. As tactical summer wear, the shirt works well under a tactical vest or plate carrier, and also separately with tactical pants and sneakers or combat boots. In civilian wear, you can pair it with jeans or cargo pants.

Difference: cotton with polyester blend

The composition with a cotton majority (58%) and 40% polyester gives the fabric more softness than purely synthetic models, while the synthetic portion helps the garment hold its shape better.
