Description:
Item: Vintage western-style wool shirt by Woolrich, produced in a midweight brown plaid wool with cream and charcoal tones. Features classic snap-front closure, pointed western yoke, and twin snap chest pockets, with a slightly longer body typical of 1970s outdoor and ranchwear crossover pieces. Substantial but wearable, sitting comfortably between shirt and light overshirt.
Era: 1970s
Brand: Woolrich
Condition: Well-worn vintage condition with softening to the wool and even wear throughout. Minor surface wear consistent with age and use; fabric remains structurally sound with no major holes or weaknesses. The wear reads as honest use and adds depth and character.
Provenance Note: Woolrich western shirts like this were built to work, not to be stored. Designed for repeated wear in outdoor and everyday settings, they softened naturally over time and were replaced when worn out. Surviving examples retain their appeal because they carry that working history in the cloth itself — practical, unfussy, and quietly authentic rather than pristine.

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.
Sizing Notes:
Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
