Vintage Heavyweight Sanforized Military/Police Uniform Set (100% Cotton)
 
This durable mid-to-late 20th-century uniform set—comprising a fitted shirt and cargo trousers—is crafted from heavyweight 100% Sanforized cotton, a hallmark of quality in military and police garments. The set features original "El Tranva" labels (noting "SANFORIZADO 100% ALGOON"), Mexican-Latin American manufacture, given the branding and construction style.
