Description:

Item:
Original 1970s long sleeve polo shirt by TGL, made in Sweden, in vibrant red with classic half-placket button front and pointed collar. Features a single chest pocket with button fastening and a clean, minimal design typical of 1970s European sportswear and leisurewear. Constructed from 100% cotton with a soft yet structured feel. The cut is slightly boxy through the body with straight sleeves, giving it the relaxed silhouette associated with the decade. This example remains unworn deadstock.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
TGL

Condition:
Deadstock vintage condition. Unworn with excellent colour, structure and crisp cotton fabric. No signs of previous use.

Provenance Note:
1970s Scandinavian sportswear often emphasised clean design and quality natural fabrics, and pieces like this reflect that approach perfectly. The bold colour, simple construction and boxy athletic cut capture the understated European leisure aesthetic of the period. Surviving deadstock examples made in Sweden are increasingly uncommon, particularly in such strong condition.

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 pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
