1970s | Don Allerton | Tap Club Ringer T-Shirt | Blue & Yellow – M/L

Description:

Item: Original 1970s ringer T-shirt produced by Don Allerton, featuring bold “Tap Club” chest print, contrast V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, and lightweight jersey construction. A classic late-60s/70s leisure and social club style shirt with strong graphic presence and period colour palette.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Don Allerton

Condition: Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The fabric has softened naturally over time, giving it an authentic vintage handle. Minor signs of use only, nothing that detracts from wearability or visual impact.

Provenance Note:
Club and social venue shirts like this were never made to be collected. They were worn, washed, and eventually discarded, which is why original survivors are becoming genuinely scarce. This piece captures the relaxed, informal culture of 1970s social clubs, where design was bold, functional, and proudly graphic. It is a true period garment rather than a modern reproduction, carrying the kind of character and originality that can only come from decades of real use and preservation.

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.
