Description:

Item:
Classic Ely western shirt in deep navy blue with vertical stripe pattern. Features traditional pointed western yokes front and back, twin flap chest pockets with snap closures, and pearl snap button front. Subtle Ely chest tab and strong geometric pocket alignment typical of western shirts from this era. Lightweight short sleeve design with a relaxed, straight vintage cut that sits comfortably and works well worn open or buttoned.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Ely

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains clean and strong with excellent colour retention. Light signs of wear consistent with age and use but no structural issues.

Provenance Note:
Ely western shirts became a staple of American rodeo and country wear through the late 20th century, producing reliable and sharply cut shirts that balanced utility with distinctive western styling. Pieces like this striped example capture the era perfectly, combining bold pattern, classic snap construction and a comfortable vintage silhouette that continues to translate effortlessly into modern wardrobes.

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.
