1970s/1980s Pale Aqua Striped Long Sleeve Button-Up Shirt – Modern Men’s M/L to L

Description

A vintage pale aqua long sleeve button-up shirt with fine teal vertical striping and a subtle chevron-textured weave. The color is soft and clean, somewhere between pale blue, aqua, and mint, with enough texture in the stripe to keep it from feeling too plain.

The shirt features a pointed collar, front button closure, two chest pockets, long sleeves, button cuffs, and a curved hem. It has an easy relaxed fit on Dean, with a casual drape through the body and enough length to wear tucked or untucked. The look is simple but useful: a quiet vintage layer that works with cream trousers, faded denim, brown cords, khakis, or under a jacket.

No clear brand or size tag is shown in the provided photos. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this is best for a modern men’s M/L to L, approximately 40/42 chest, depending on desired fit.

Shown on Dean with light trousers and jewelry. Listing is for the shirt only.

Fit Notes

No clear size tag is shown. Estimated modern fit is men’s M/L to L, approximately 40/42 chest.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the shirt fits relaxed through the chest and body with an easy vintage button-up shape. Best for a modern men’s Medium/Large who wants a relaxed fit, or a modern Large who prefers a cleaner, less oversized vintage fit.

Because Dean is tall with a 36” sleeve, the sleeve and body length are useful references for taller wearers.

Condition

Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The shirt presents cleanly overall, with the pale aqua color, stripe texture, buttons, pockets, and cuffs looking strong in the provided photos. No major flaws are visible. Please review photos carefully.

Styling Notes

Style it tucked into cream trousers for a clean 1970s/1980s menswear look, or wear it loose with faded denim, khakis, brown cords, or olive fatigues. It also layers easily under a tan shirt jacket, navy blazer, leather jacket, or textured cardigan. The pale aqua color pairs especially well with ivory, tan, chocolate brown, denim blue, washed black, white, and soft gray.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with light trousers and jewelry for shoot styling. Listing is for the shirt only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its soft aqua color, subtle stripe texture, relaxed vintage fit, and easy styling range. It is the kind of quiet menswear staple that works as a simple shirt, a light layer, or a soft color break under jackets.
