👔 Fit Note
True vintage workwear proportions — roomy through the body with a slightly shorter sleeve length by modern standards. Many mid-century utility shirts were intentionally cut this way to prevent cuffs from catching during labor. Sleeves can also be worn rolled.
🧥 Condition
Excellent vintage condition with light, expected wear consistent with age — minor wear at the left cuff and along the collar (see photos). No holes or major flaws noted.
