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 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 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.

Shown with

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.

It was my 2nd or 3rd time browsing the site, and my first time purchasing from it. I was familiar with the site and brand (was recommended by a close friend of mine who has good taste), and decided to check it out. I liked the layout of the site, made it pretty easy to look for what I like, and found what I wanted in like 4 minutes after browsing. Paying was straightforward, I received the package in about 10 days (flat fee for shipping), and it fit pretty well. The shirt fit me well, and I liked the length of it which was longer than typical shirts, I appreciated the minimalism of it. All in all, a great purchase! 5 stars.

Went by on a Saturday with my daughter. Melynda was awesome and helpful, as always. We both found things we needed. What I appreciate about Melynda is the personal service and how she honestly cares about if something is "right" for you or not. She actually mended something I had just bought right on the spot (wouldn't let it leave with an almost loose button)! Appreciate her sense of style and will defiantly be headed back.

I am so thrilled with the lovely mirror I got from Quirk! It is just the right amount of vintage and unique that makes me so happy to have found this little gem of a shop in downtown. Melynda is a joy and I genuinely enjoyed my time in her shop

I've been coming to Quirk for years now. Some of my favorite pieces have come from her shop and I always get compliments. It's the perfect place to get something unique that not everyone has. Top quality items. One of my first pieces I bought from her is a vintage Armani blazer that has become a regular staple piece for me. Still in my rotation years later :) The shopping experience itself is always a treat (coming from someone who doesn't like shopping). Melynda is super welcoming and helpful if you're looking for something in particular. If she doesn't have it, it's likely she will soon, as she's regularly getting new inventory. Also, be sure to check out her shopping events!

I have volunteered at the Fire Relief Free Boutique founded by Melynda for over a month and the whole experience has been amazing, I have seen people affected by the fires leaving the free boutique with a smile on their face after the free shopping experience, that’s something that fulfills the soul. Melynda is a great leader with a big heart, I’m proud to be part of this beautiful project.

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I highly recommend supporting this local business. The owner Melynda has been so generous in helping out fire victims by creating a pop up free clothing boutique, and volunteering her time there. She definitely has a strong eye for fashion and a heart of gold, so I recommend stopping by and supporting her shop!

What a gem! The People's Free Boutique is such a wonderful idea to bring to the community and the volunteers couldn't be more genuine or friendly to the customers. It is very organized and easy to shop. I am so glad this resource exists.
