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.

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

I helped out the Free People's Boutique by Quirk by sorting racks and registering shoppers on a Saturday. It was a humbling experience. I was asked to pass on so much gratitude to Melynda and her team by every guest I had the pleasure to assist.

Quirk is WONDERFUL! Small but mighty, always new and exciting finds, plus the real deal when it comes to fashion and expression. Owned by a stylist/awesome fashionista, with a passion and drive that offers the best experience in vintage shopping. I got the most gorgeous silk blouse...and some shoes that fit me like Cinderella! If you live in Los Angeles, you know how hard it is to find awesome vintage at a reasonable price. From the fight over Dior at a thrift store, to the snobby and over priced 'bo-ho' Buffalo Exchange, to the trendy and overly pretentious places on Melrose-it's just another face in the crowd, on the scene. It's more comfortable and personable at Quirk. You get the deals, yeah-but the experience is worth more!

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you've inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don't see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She's genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there's pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

This is such a fabulous find! A true gem tucked away in DTLA!! I went looking for vintage men’s items to match a watch I was gifted, and Melynda helped me pick out the most beautiful suit. She’s amazing too - she has the most fun and quirky style, but also donates clothes to victims of the wildfires. She gave me a tour of “The People’s Free Boutique” and it’s laid out to make those who have lost everything feel like they are really shopping for high-end items rather than getting things for free. I will be back to support Quirk Vintage again!!
