1970s | European Fashion | Patterned Polyester Shirt | Graphic Grid Print – XXS

Description:

1970s long sleeve polyester shirt in a striking monochrome graphic grid pattern. Button-through front, pointed collar, and classic seventies silhouette with a fluid drape and sharp structure. The print is bold yet refined, giving the shirt a strong visual rhythm that feels architectural and distinctly period.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Unbranded / European manufacture

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light handling creases consistent with age. Fabric remains strong, smooth, and vibrant, with all buttons intact and no structural issues. A very well-preserved example of seventies synthetic tailoring.

Provenance Note:
It’s important to understand that 1970s polyester is not the same material people associate with modern fast-fashion. At the time, polyester was a premium fabric choice, valued for its durability, colour retention, and ability to hold structure over decades. It was engineered to last, not to be disposable. Shirts like this were made to survive heavy wear while staying sharp and expressive, which is exactly why examples like this still look so powerful today. The appeal lies in that confidence: bold design, strong fabric, and a construction that was built with longevity in mind, not compromise.

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.
