This woollen 'Pendleton' shirt I found a short while ago in a local charity shop, condition is /was excellent..in fact I seriously doubt it had ever been worn more than a couple times if at all.
Generally I can't wear wool next to my skin because the bloody stuff itches me like mad so it's handy that this shirt is big enough to wear a cotton undershirt, together in the cold weather they provide plenty of warmth- the colour and pattern also make it a good shirt for dining out, especially if you're eating anything with a tomato sauce base!!!
Front view showing double flapped pockets and 'pearl' snap fasteners.
Rear view showing 'western' shoulder yoke.
Collar detail showing pearl snap fastener.
Collar button with hand finished button hole.
Fastener detail.
Pendleton label, made in USA from 100% Virgin wool so post mid 1960's.
Dry cleaning label, you can see the satin edging this is also inside the collar but not inside the cuffs.
