1970s Board Shirt

💥 “Plaid Glory from the High Desert”

Born outta the California surf scene in the early 1960s, the Pendleton Board Shirt was the go-to garb for longboarders, greasers, and all-around West Coast hellraisers. The Beach Boys even sang about it back when they called themselves the Pendletones—no joke. But the real deal came from way up in Oregon, where Pendleton Woolen Mills spun rugged wool into West Coast cool.

This here piece is a 1970s original, made right in the USA. It’s a tough-as-nails work shirt disguised in cozy, pure virgin wool—dry clean only, just like Mama’s best Sunday coat.

🔥 Colorway That Don’t Quit

Ain’t nothin’ subtle ‘bout this one: it’s sportin’ an electrifying petrol blue and earthy mustard plaid that’ll stop traffic, win bar fights, and probably help ya chop wood twice as fast. This ain’t no watered-down flannel lookalike—it’s the real Board Shirt, thick and warm, made for desert rides or mountain mornings.

Check those flap-front chest pockets. That signature open style—no buttons on them flaps—is exactly what sets Board Shirts apart. Pure practicality, designed for freedom of movement and old-school swagger.

🐑 What’s Virgin Wool Anyway?

Virgin wool is the cream of the crop. This is wool fiber that has never been previously spun or woven into fabric. Pendleton never uses recycled wool because many of the qualities that make wool so desirable are diminished by the process.

Virgin wool's softer, stronger, and holds its color like a champ. Pendleton’s been workin’ this kind of magic since 1863, and they’ve become the standard of Western grit mixed with town-slicker style.

Whether you're a cowboy on the range, a city slicker lookin’ for Western charm, or a collector of authentic Americana—this Pendleton’s got history, style, and grit sewn into every thread. 🤠🇺🇸
