Description:

Item: Late 1980s to early 1990s Boy Scouts of America long sleeve uniform shirt in classic khaki. Button-front construction with twin chest pockets and red shoulder epaulettes. Original applied patches including U.S. flag, fleur-de-lis insignia, “Boy Scouts of America” chest script and additional troop and merit detailing. Straight, slightly boxy uniform cut typical of the period, designed for layering and active wear.

Era: 1980s–1990s

Condition: Good vintage condition. Fabric shows light creasing and honest service wear that adds character and authenticity. Patches remain secure and vibrant. No structural damage noted.

Provenance Note:
Original BSA shirts with a full complement of period patches always carry more presence than blank examples. Each badge marks progression, place and participation, giving the garment narrative as well as visual appeal. A strong example of late twentieth-century American youth uniform culture that translates naturally into wearable vintage today.

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.
