509 shirt WW2

Shirt is perfect. I have my dad’s 509 patch’s and your recreation is spot on. I have several other shirts and Ive been asked where I got the shirts. My dad was in both the 509 and 82 Airborne in WW2 and I served in the 82 myself. AATW.

Great graphics. T-shirt would be cooler if a heavier cotton was used.
