1970s | Striped Tank Top - 8

Description:

Item: Original 1970s striped tank top in a navy and white colourway with a high square neckline, slim shoulder straps and a close cropped cut. Ribbed waistband gives it shape through the body and creates that neat fitted silhouette so typical of 1970s knit separates. Acrylic knit with a soft, tidy finish that holds the striped pattern well.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. Presents well with a clean shape, sharp stripe definition and good stretch through the knit. Light general wear consistent with age, but no obvious major issues visible from the provided image.

Provenance Note: This is a very wearable little 1970s piece with a clean, confident shape and just enough graphic interest from the bold horizontal stripe. The square neckline and cropped fit give it that flattering, put-together look that works easily on its own or layered under jackets and shirts. A strong everyday vintage top with the kind of simple period styling that always earns its place on a rail.

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.
