1970s Turquoise TP Monogram Dagger-Collar Shirt, Modern Men’s S

Description

A sharp piece of late-20th-century nightlife dressing in electric turquoise and black. This button-front shirt is covered in a precise repeating TP monogram, giving the surface a graphic rhythm that becomes more dimensional as the light catches its subtle sheen.

The silhouette is distinctly fitted through the torso, with a long pointed dagger collar, curved shirttail hem, black buttons, and unusually deep split cuffs that extend over the hands. Those exaggerated proportions give the shirt its personality. It feels part disco, part glam, and part modern editorial menswear.

The color makes an immediate statement, but the small-scale black print keeps it controlled. Wear it buttoned high with tailored black trousers, open at the neck with dark denim, or under a velvet jacket. The deep cuffs can be left extended for full impact or folded back for an easier proportion.

Fit Notes

Estimated to best fit a modern men’s S, with possible crossover for a unisex XS/S depending on the desired ease.

On Jayden, the shirt fits closely through the shoulders, chest, waist, and arms. The body is intentionally shaped rather than relaxed. The extended cuffs fall well past the wrist and are part of the shirt’s original dramatic design.

A broader chest, shoulders, or upper arms would likely create a tighter fit. This is best suited to someone who prefers a slim, body-conscious vintage shirt silhouette.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition.

The turquoise ground remains bright, the TP print appears crisp, and the black buttons are present throughout the visible front. No major stains, holes, tears, or significant print loss are visible in the supplied photographs. Light wear consistent with age may be present.

Styling Notes

Wear with black flare trousers, dark raw denim, a narrow leather trouser, or a sharply tailored suit. The shirt also works under a black velvet jacket or worn open over a fitted tank.

The accompanying monogram portfolio clutch is separate inventory and is not included with the shirt.
