Old-School Tough: Four Vintage Workwear Picks With Grit
Some pieces just feel like they’ve done a little living. This week, we’re featuring four vintage finds that carry that energy— a flannel with union tags, a bold red work shirt, a quilted hunting coat built for cold mornings, and a heavyweight sherpa jacket made to ride. If you like your wardrobe with a side of true grit, read on.
🧵 Vintage Big Mac Flannel Shirt 90s
Straight out of the box with both original tags still attached, this XXL Five Brother flannel is the real deal. Union made in the USA with a bold blue plaid pattern and soft, heavy cotton. The kind of shirt your granddad wore to split firewood—and then passed down when it got even better with age.
🔥 Vintage Carhartt Shirt 90s
Carhartt doesn’t usually come this bright. This cherry red twill shirt delivers their classic rugged shape with a little attitude. Dual flap pockets, reinforced seams, and a solid medium fit. Built for the jobsite or the roadside, and ready to wear year-round.
🪡 Vintage HC Jones Quilted Coat 60s
A rare bird from HC Jones out of Pennsylvania. This coat’s got quilted brown nylon, oversized velvet pockets, and a Talon zipper that still slides like new. It’s unusual, tough, and a little eccentric—in the best way.
🤠 Vintage Wrangler Sherpa Denim Jacket 70s
You can’t go wrong with a Wrangler trucker. This one adds a thick sherpa lining to the equation, with warm sleeves, heavy denim, and a wide-set collar. Made in the USA and ready to take on winter in style. Just try to find one this clean.
When the good stuff turns up, we bring it back to camp—get word by email or catch us on the feed.
