What you?ll love about this 1970s Wrangler short-sleeve sweatshirt is its true deadstock condition, rich dark-green tone, and that unmistakable vintage Creslan-acrylic/cotton blend that gives it the soft, rugged handfeel Wrangler was known for during the decade. The raglan sleeves with chain-stitch construction, USA-made quality, and slightly sun-kissed fade make this a perfect piece for anyone who loves heritage workwear, western-sport style, and rare vintage basics that feel lived-in but unworn. Authentic deadstock Wrangler from the 70s is nearly impossible to find ? once it?s gone, it?s truly irreplaceable. Condition: Deadstock/NWT condition without retail tag. Very slight vintage fade from long-term storage (even, not blotchy). No holes, stains, or fabric pilling. Chain-stitched raglan seams are crisp and strong. Fit Snapshot: Best for a modern Medium. 42" chest, stretchy 13?18" waist band, and 24" length. Provenance Note: Wrangler produced a range of knit athletic tops and short-sleeve sweatshirts in the 1970s using Creslan acrylic blended with cotton, a fabric popularized for its color retention, durability, and soft loft. Raglan sleeves with chain stitching, USA production, and the marked M (38?40) sizing confirm a mid-1970s manufacturing window. These pieces were sold through western wear shops and outdoor stores as rugged athletic/workwear hybrids. Pop Culture Screen Style References ?
