1970s | Woolrich | Wool Buffalo Check Shirt – Red/Black - XL

Description:

Item: 1970s Woolrich wool buffalo check shirt in red and black, with button front, twin flap chest pockets and a lightly padded collar lining typical of later outdoor-focused production. Heavier than a standard shirt, wearable as a light jacket.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Woolrich

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear throughout. Wool remains thick and warm with no holes or structural issues; surface wear consistent with age; buttons intact and secure.

Provenance Note: By the 1970s, Woolrich had refined this pattern into a dependable everyday layer for work and the outdoors. The buffalo check remains instantly recognisable, but the slightly heavier build reflects the era’s push toward practical, all-purpose wear. A proper utility piece that still does exactly what it was made to do.

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.
