U. S. Navy Convalescent Shirt

These Convalescent Shirts date back to the 1950's and showcase the bright blue color traditionally associated with hospital clothing. The shirts were part of the outfits worn by recovering soldiers in U. S. military hospitals. The shirts feature a loose, comfortable fit with a button up front, two slanted waist pockets and one chest pocket. Because of their original use in hospital settings, they are designed for a comfortable, lightweight wear.
