1970s / 1980s | Bengi | Contrast Pocket Polo Shirt | Sky Blue – S

Description:

Item:
Short sleeve vintage polo shirt with standout contrast detailing. Sky blue base with patterned fabric insert to the placket, a printed chest patch pocket, and an additional chambray-style utility pocket with original Bengi branding tab. Ribbed collar and cuffs with fine white tipping. A brilliant example of playful late-70s / early-80s European sportswear design.

Era:
Late 1970s to early 1980s

Brand:
Bengi

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Light, honest wear only with no holes or structural issues. Colour remains strong and the contrast fabrics are clean and sharp. Exactly the sort of character wear that gives these pieces their charm.

Provenance Note:
This is the era when polo shirts became a canvas for experimentation rather than just sportswear. Brands like Bengi pushed colour, pattern and mixed fabrics in a way that feels almost designer-led today. These were made to stand out, built properly, and designed for longevity. Pieces like this capture the optimism and creativity of late-70s casual fashion and are becoming increasingly scarce in this condition.

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.
