1980s Banana Republic The Nile Plaid Men’s XL LS Cotton Shirt Siam Label READ

1980s Banana Republic The Nile Plaid Men’s XL LS Cotton Shirt Siam Label READ Condition: This shirt is from the 1980s so it is not in perfect condition. On one sleeve some of the stitching has come undone from the cuff and there is a tear on the underneath side of the button placard. There is also wear around the neck and wrists, where the fabric is thinning. There is some white paint on the front. Please see all photos for an accurate description and ask any questions that you may have. The size tag is missing so measurements were used (24” flat lay P2P) to determine the size. The website “Abandoned Republic” helped me determine the style and date for this shirt. From the Spring 1988 catalogue: “Along the banks of the Nile, as in so many equatorial zones, we noticed how many dwellers shun the all-white clothing rule, choosing instead to weather the swelter in darker hues. The toasty tones of our brown plaid shirt recall the baked Sudan, where dun-colored native garb is both practical and preferred amidst the relentless heat and dust. Our cool green stripe reminds us of the welcoming Nile Delta, where Egypt’s dusky beiges reflect coastal consciousness. The generous boxy cut keeps a cooling cushion of air, not fabric, against steamy midsections.”
