1970s–1980s | Amcrest | Loop Collar Wool Shirt – Plaid - XL

Description:

Item: Vintage loop-collar wool shirt by Amcrest, produced in a dense plaid wool with deep red, charcoal, and muted green tones. Classic open collar construction with a relaxed, straight body and button-front closure, sitting somewhere between shirt and light overshirt. Soft, midweight handle typical of late-20th-century American casual wool garments.

Era: 1970s–1980s

Brand: Amcrest

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with softening to the wool and light, even wear throughout. Fabric remains strong with no major holes or structural issues; the wear reads as honest use rather than damage and adds to the character of the piece.

Provenance Note: Loop-collar wool shirts like this were everyday garments, worn season after season rather than saved or rotated carefully. The softened handle and relaxed drape are the result of real use, not artificial distressing. Pieces that survive with their structure intact offer a quiet authenticity — practical, unfussy, and rooted in the casual work-and-leisure crossover that defined this era.

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.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
