1970s | Converse | Logo Graphic T-Shirt | Red – XXS

Description:

Item: Original Converse logo T-shirt featuring the classic boxed star graphic with CONVERSE lettering beneath. Bold red ground with off-white print, a strong example of early brand-led sportswear graphics.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Converse

Condition: Good vintage condition. Noticeable softening to the cotton with light wear and fading consistent with age. Print shows gentle ageing but remains clear and legible, adding to the authentic 1970s character.

Fit: Typical 1970s slim athletic cut with a narrower body and shorter sleeves compared to modern T-shirts.

Provenance Note:
Converse-branded apparel from the 1970s predates the brand’s later lifestyle boom and was produced in comparatively small numbers, often intended for athletic or promotional use rather than mass retail. The boxed star logo is an early, highly recognisable design that bridges American sportswear and emerging street culture. A clean, wearable example with strong collector appeal.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
