1970s | Ponderosa | Wool Plaid Shirt – Brown / Blue - M

Description:

Item: Vintage wool plaid shirt by Ponderosa, produced in a dense midweight wool with a warm brown base and blue and rust check. Classic button-front construction with twin chest pockets and a gently curved hem, cut long in the body in line with 1970s outdoor and workwear proportions. Substantial without being bulky, sitting comfortably between shirt and light overshirt.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Ponderosa

Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with softening to the wool and even wear throughout. Minor surface wear consistent with age and regular use; fabric remains structurally sound with no major holes or weaknesses. Wear reads as honest and adds depth and character.

Provenance Note: Ponderosa wool shirts were everyday work-and-leisure garments, made to be worn hard rather than kept pristine. The softened handle and relaxed drape are the natural result of years of use, not artificial ageing. Survivors like this carry a quiet authenticity, reflecting a period when clothing was built for routine wear and longevity rather than presentation.

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.
