Why not, instead of zippers, just use a double velcro system much like some body armor systems do. It would seem certainly more comfortable with armor, etc. and less likely to fail. Have the shirt panels as they are except remove the buttons and replace the left 2 flaps with the soft velcro side and the single right panel have the harder velcro side. The right side has the velcro front and back and gets sandwiched between the right panels.

Got to talk to alot of Marines this past weekend during their TUREX and they do like their uniforms.....brown boots included.
