Help in identifying this shirt

[Widebrim]

Okay, is this military, or perhaps para-military, law enforcement, or none of the aforementioned? I picked it up at a Goodwill, and it has no tags. It doesn't look to be U.S. Army or Marine Corps, but might be European(?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Those pocket flaps look very Marine Corps to me. I can't tell from the photos, is it flannel or cotton? You may have a nice WWII USMC winter service shirt.

Looks like it to me, same flaps, one-button cuff, fabric under the button holes.

It's flannel, Gene. It does look very close to Marine Corps, but the pocket flaps on the shirt you posted appear to be slightly rounded. Still, it might be USMC.

It could be a tailored or private purchase example. Also a lot of times the patterns in the contracts given out to companies to produce the shirts were very vague and it could be just a specific maker quirk. But I'm betting that it's USMC.

It is a enlisted ( No shoulder tabs) USMC wool winter service shirt, I have 2 myself and 1 USAAF check the date and contract no. inside the lower flap. Nice looking shirt!

Thanks, gents. I had never seen a winter, WWII USMC shirt in the flesh; I'm used to the cotton, summer ones. Bomber1941, there are no labels, so it likely was private purchase, as Gene opined.
