c. 1960s National Shirt Shops Plaid Work Shirt - Size M

A beautifully worn vintage plaid work shirt featuring a rich yarn-dyed colorway, double chest pockets, and classic marbled resin buttons. This piece has a perfectly broken-in feel with subtle hand-sewn repairs that speak to years of wear and care. Cut with a relaxed but balanced silhouette, it’s an easy everyday layer with real history and character.

National Shirt Shops was a Coast-to-Coast American retailer best known for producing durable, affordable work shirts throughout the mid-20th century. Pieces like this were made to be worn hard and repaired rather than replaced, making hand stitching and patching an authentic and valued part of their story. The yarn-dyed plaid, pocket construction, and label details suggest a production window in the 1960s to early 1970s.
