1940s | Red Wool Work Shirt – Fish-Eye Buttons - S

Description:

Item: Deep red wool work shirt with long 1940s spearpoint collar, two flapped chest pockets and classic polished fish-eye (cat’s-eye) buttons down the placket and cuffs. Curved hem, set-in sleeves and a medium-weight, tightly woven hand ideal as an overshirt.

Era: 1940s

Brand: Unbranded Workwear

Condition: Very good vintage with light, honest wear and softening to the wool; no holes, tears or structural issues noted. Buttons and stitching are sound, colour strong.

Provenance Note: Solid-colour red wool from the 1940s is scarce, and the fish-eye buttons and long collar give it textbook period features—clean, versatile and with that rugged workwear character people buy these for; a genuinely collectible piece that elevates any heritage rail.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
