The company gained a reputation for its colorful, durable, and vibrant woolen fabrics, which they initially applied to their iconic blankets before expanding to apparel in the early 20th century. Pendleton’s commitment to quality and traditional craftsmanship has made it a staple in American fashion history.

The Piece

The Pendleton Striped Flannel shirt from the 1960s is a classic example of the brand's commitment to quality and style. Made in the USA from 100% virgin wool, this shirt is part of Pendleton's "Country Traditionals" line, which emphasizes traditional patterns and robust construction. The red colorway and striped pattern reflect the era's fashion sensibilities, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal.

The Style

Flannel shirts became increasingly popular in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for their warmth and durability, flannel shirts were initially designed for outdoor work and leisure activities. The striped pattern, a variation from the more common plaid, added a stylish twist to the utilitarian design. This style was embraced by a wide range of people, from outdoor enthusiasts to fashion-conscious individuals, due to its versatility and comfort.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Tag History

Well-known, popular brands like this one have the history of their vintage tags/labels documented online! Based on this research, we can be sure of this piece’s age.

• Woolmark

Starting in 1964, woolmarks were designed to encourage consumers to shift away from increasingly popular acrylic and polyester. A Woolmark logo indicates the clothing was manufactured between 1964 and 1999.

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!
