Brand:
Unknown

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light signs of wear consistent with genuine service use. Minor creasing from storage, no structural issues, and patches remain firmly attached. Honest wear that adds authenticity rather than detracting from the piece.

Provenance Note:
Authentic EMS and emergency service uniform shirts are increasingly sought after for their strong utilitarian design and real-world provenance. Unlike fashion reproductions, this example shows true service history through its original patches and wear, giving it genuine Americana appeal and crossover interest for workwear collectors, uniform enthusiasts, and everyday wear with substance.

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.
