1970s | Polyester Roll Neck Top | Red - 6

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s polyester roll neck top in a rich red tone, with long sleeves and a soft draped funnel-style neckline. Cut in a simple, lightly shaped silhouette through the body, giving it that clean close-fitting 1970s look without feeling overly tight. An easy layering piece with a strong colour and a very wearable period shape. As with good vintage polyester of this era, the fabric was made to hold its colour, shape and structure well, and has a very different feel and purpose to later cheap fast-fashion synthetics.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. Presents well overall from the front with no obvious major issues visible.

Provenance Note:
This is a very useful piece of 1970s daywear, the kind of top that works because the shape is simple and the colour does the work. The soft roll neck and neat fitted cut give it that unmistakable period line, making it ideal for layering under jackets, knits or worn on its own with trousers and skirts. Pieces like this remain appealing because they are easy to style, genuinely versatile, and still carry the clean graphic look that makes 1970s clothing feel so distinct.

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 the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
