Vintage Wool Pullover Shirt - Deep Gray Raglan Sleeve Wool Shirt

Vintage 50s-70s Gabardine Wool Shirt When it comes to wool shirts, many might be familiar with the Pendleton brand, whose plaid designs have evolved from the lumberjack's Buffalo check to workwear in the 1950s and continued into outdoor apparel. Beyond plaid patterns, solid colors were also common in military wear, particularly from the 1940s to the 1950s. Due to the need for warmth in colder climates, the fabric also needed to resist water penetration while remaining breathable. The use of "gabardine" fabric was a key element. This textile was invented by Thomas Burberry in 1879 and patented in 1888. It's the classic material famously used by Burberry in their trench coats 🧥, originally made with fine wool, and later a blend with cotton, offering a degree of water resistance. Unlike other wool materials, it has a smoother feel due to its twill weave. In the 1950s, this material reached its peak in shirt production. For those who love wearing shirts as overshirts, a classic, high-quality gabardine shirt like this is a must-have in your wardrobe!
