Embroidered Selvedge Denim Shirt | Youth Sz. 8 | c. 1970s
Details
This vintage Sport Club shirt is made from true selvedge denim and chainstitched with playful Americana motifs — a bitten apple, cowboy hat, soda bottle, and a pair of mallard ducks drift across the front. The back panel features a richly embroidered owl perched in a woodland scene, surrounded by bees, birds, and a stitched horizon of wildflowers. Golden yellow rickrack trims the chest pockets, adding a touch of handmade whimsy to this early rockabilly-inspired children's piece.
The shirt is cut from dark raw denim with a structured drape, softened by time. Details include brass-tone snap buttons, dual flap pockets, wide cuffs, and a bold, oversized collar — all nods to 1970s Western and workwear design. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws, the shirt remains crisp and sturdy, perfect for everyday wear or collecting.
Tagged Youth Size 8, this piece fits true to age and style. It stands as a rare example of chainstitched kidswear made with the same care and creativity as adult garments — built to last, meant to be passed on.
