70s US ARMY Waffle Crewneck L/S T-shirt BR-25326

"U.S. Military-Inspired"

This piece is based on the 1970s–80s U.S. Army waffle shirt, reimagined in an easy-fit silhouette. The textured, waffle-like fabric—officially called thermal—features raised areas that touch the skin and recessed areas that trap air, providing excellent insulation, making it ideal as a fall and winter inner layer. Historically, these were issued to soldiers deployed to cold regions during wartime. Originally worn like an undergarment, BARNS OUTFITTERS has carefully adjusted the thickness and sizing so it works perfectly as a standalone shirt. Compared to the standard waffle shirts, this version emphasizes extra softness for superior comfort.

"Simple with Thoughtful Details"

At first glance, this is a simple, one-tone thermal T-shirt. Look closer, and you’ll notice distinctive pattern work and bartack stitching at the cuffs and hem—subtle details that showcase BARNS OUTFITTERS craftsmanship. The sleeve design, reminiscent of a classic football T-shirt, adds a playful touch to an otherwise simple, yet characterful piece.

Generously sized armholes allow for a relaxed fit. Perfect worn alone in autumn and spring, and ideal as a layering piece in winter.

The bartack stitching at the cuffs and hem features a contrasting color, adding a subtle yet distinctive accent.

The waffle fabric traps body heat for excellent insulation. It has also been treated for extra softness, ensuring a comfortable, non-bulky fit when worn as a layering piece.
