1988 | Harley-Davidson | Racing Colourblock T-Shirt | Red / White / Black – XXXL

Description:

Item: Original Harley-Davidson racing-style boxy cut T-shirt featuring bold tricolour colourblock construction with large Harley-Davidson Racing chest graphic and sleeve print detailing. European-made example on a Diport blank, giving it a slightly different cut and feel to US-issue Harley tees of the same period.

Era: 1988

Brand: Harley-Davidson

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Light overall wear and softening to the fabric consistent with age, with the print remaining strong and well-preserved. Honest use that adds character and is exactly why pieces like this are sought after.

Fit: Relaxed late-1980s cut with a slightly boxy body and standard-length sleeves. Sits well worn loose or layered.

Provenance Note:
Late 1980s Harley-Davidson racing graphics mark the shift toward bolder, motorsport-inspired branding that later defined 1990s Harley apparel. European-printed examples on Diport blanks are less common than US-made counterparts, giving this piece added interest for collectors. The colourblock layout and racing typography make it a strong crossover piece for both Harley and motorsport graphic collectors.

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.
