Introducing the U.S. ARMY MEDICAL 50's CONVALESCENT short sleeve medical shirt.
Official name: COAT, CONVALESCENT, SUIT, SUMMER
A rare vintage medical shirt manufactured by the US military in the 1950s, adopted in 1945, has arrived!
The official name is "COAT, CONVALESCENT, SUIT, SUMMER," which sounds like a jacket or coat, but as the name "CONVALESCENT" suggests, it is an item for patients in the recovery phase. This is a short-sleeved shirt made of breathable cotton material, designed for use in warm seasons.
Vibrant blue is used, and a white embroidered medical mark is designed on the left chest pocket. The medical mark spread worldwide after being adopted for the uniforms of US Army medical officers in 1902. It features a double-layered fly front (hidden placket), two welt pockets on the front, and a waist extension that looks like a belt, giving it a sophisticated design like a short jacket.
As an aside, a shirt of the same type is worn in the famous movie "Forrest Gump." Medical mark items are popular, and this is an extremely rare item, with only a very limited supply of vintage shirts from the 1950s!
