1960s–1970s | Pendleton | Board Shirt | Wool Plaid | Made in USA – S

Description:

Item: Classic Pendleton Board Shirt in deep black and forest green plaid wool, featuring the signature boxy cut, twin chest pockets with flaps, and sturdy button front. Dense virgin wool construction with the soft, brushed handle Pendleton is known for, offering both warmth and structure. A benchmark piece of American outdoor and casual wear.

Era: 1960s–1970s

Brand: Pendleton

Condition: Good vintage condition. There has been some shrinkage to the wool over time, which is common with older Pendleton pieces and part of their lived history. The fabric remains strong and substantial, with no thinning or structural weakness. Wear is honest and consistent with age, adding to the character of the garment.

Provenance Note:
Pendleton Board Shirts were never made as fashion statements, they were tools of everyday life. Worn for work, travel, and outdoor use, they earned their reputation through durability and comfort rather than trend. Slight shrinkage only reinforces that this shirt was genuinely worn and relied upon, not preserved. It carries the quiet authority of proper American woolwear, built to serve a purpose first and admired later for its integrity.
