Description:

Item:
Original Boy Scouts of America short sleeve uniform shirt in deep navy. Button-front construction with twin chest pockets and official “Boy Scouts of America” embroidery to the chest. Features a strong, well-documented patch layout including American flag shoulder patch, council and troop insignia, fleur-de-lis emblem, and a clearly dated 1999 patch that anchors the shirt firmly to late-1990s use. Straight, utilitarian silhouette with a boxy cut, designed to sit loose as part of official BSA issue.

Era:
1990s

Brand:
Boy Scouts of America

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains firm with excellent colour retention. All patches are securely stitched and show light, honest wear consistent with age and use. Minor creasing present, adding character rather than detracting. No structural issues.

Provenance Note:
Dated navy BSA shirts are especially desirable as they combine a less common colourway with a fixed point in time. The 1999 patch gives this piece clear historical grounding, while the clean utility cut and graphic insignia keep it highly wearable today. A character-rich uniform shirt that works both as a distinctive everyday piece and as an authentic archival example of late-20th-century American scouting history.

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.
