This is a genuine, historically accurate World War II-era indoor service uniform dress. Made from \"Commando Blue\" seersucker cotton, this style was officially introduced by the ARC in October 1942 for volunteer corps members.
- Branch/Unit: Production Corps — identified by the original, dark blue shoulder epaulets. This branch was vital to the war effort, producing billions of surgical dressings and comfort kits for troops overseas.
- Features: Comes with its rare, matching fabric belt, a button-down front with original white buttons except one, and a total of three pockets (one breast pocket, two large front hip pockets).
- Insignia: Includes the original Red Cross pin at the front neckline and the authentic woven Red Cross patch attached to the breast pocket.
