Vintage 1970s Western Floral Stripe Long Sleeve Shirt

A brilliant 1970s men’s shirt in soft cream with fine tan vertical stripes and rows of muted floral pattern running throughout. The floral columns are especially good, combining mustard, dusty purple and grey tones against the cream ground. Cut in a classic 70s shirt shape with a pointed collar, long sleeves, two chest pockets and a full button front, with pearl-effect buttons and beautifully detailed button cuffs.

Condition
Good vintage condition. There are a few small areas of light brownish marking/discolouration to the fabric, most noticeably around the neckline at the back, consistent with a vintage garment. Buttons, seams and cuffs remain intact.

Why We Love It
A really good example of the slightly flamboyant side of 70s menswear. The vertical floral stripes give it plenty of character without making it feel costume-y . Equally good worn traditionally with denim or trousers, tucked in, or oversized and borrowed from the boys.
