1980s | Eliana | Knit Polo Shirt | Cream & Navy Stripe - XL

Description:

Item: Original 1980s Eliana knit-feel polo shirt in a soft cream tone with fine navy horizontal striping, button neck, soft collar and embroidered crest pocket detail. Short sleeve cut with a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette typical of the period, finished with ribbed hem and cuffs for that easy blouson shape. A very wearable casual piece with a neat smart-sportswear feel.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Eliana

Condition: Good vintage condition with light, honest wear consistent with age and use. Presents well overall with clean colour, crisp stripe pattern and good shape through the body. A solid vintage casual piece with the natural signs of age that add character without detracting from the overall look.

Provenance Note: This is the kind of 1980s casual knitwear that works because it sits neatly between polo shirt and lightweight jumper. The soft stripe layout, crest pocket detail and blouson-style hem give it that slightly dressed, continental leisurewear feel that looks far better than a standard plain polo. A strong everyday vintage piece with an easy, understated charm.

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, bulk, or layering.
