This is a replica shirt of the army shirt worn by Elvis when he served in US Army in the 1950's while station in Germany in the 3rd Armoured Division.

There are a few copies of this shirt being made, most use really bad qualilty badges abd second hand army shirts some of which are the correct pattern but most are later patterns US Army shirts which have the wrong buttons and yellow labels on the inside instead of the correct white ones.

We decided to make a good one, by using an authentic 1960's replica US Army OG 107 green fatigue shirt by Kay Canvas and using high quality badges. The Elvis army shirt comes with all the badges sewn on, so it is ready to wear.

This is a replica shirt of the army shirt worn by Elvis

There are a few copies of this shirt being made, most use second hand army shirts some of which are the correct pattern but most are later patterns US Army shirts which have the wrong buttons and yellow labels on the inside instead of the correct white ones.

Using later pattern shirts is not too bad, but some of the quality of the badges used on the replica Elvis Army shirts are just wrong and very poor quality, so we decided to make a good one.

First of all we have used a replica US Army OG 107 fatigue/utility shirt which is the correct pattern of shirt that Elvis Presely wore, this is a high quality replica made by Kay Canvas. Kay Canvas design and make quality military replica clothing so they know what they are doing.

Secondly the badges are either US military specification which are made by an official US government supplier so they are 100% correct and the same as what was on the original Reinhardt army shirt. If we cannot get the badge like the pocket badge as the US Army do not make or issue this badge we have made a quality replica and to get the best we have them hand made by a company which specialises in the manufacture of replica historic military badges.

The Elvis Presely army shirt comes with all the badges sewn on, so it is ready to wear.
