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.
