A rare vintage 1950s shirt by the well-known sporting outfitters 'Abercrombie & Fitch', made in Canada from English 'Viyella' wool/cotton fabric in a glorious vibrant paprika orange colour. It has a stand & fall 'spearpoint' collar, full front opening, large chest pockets with pointed flaps & bottoms, long tails, & long sleeves pleated into double-buttoned cuffs; the buttons are pearly grey plastic, with a spare at each side of the hem, & there is a nice embroidered label at the neck.
