1970s Board Shirt

🍂 The Board Shirt That Lit the Sunset 🔥

Back in the 1950s, California surfers needed something warm to toss on after paddling out at dawn. Enter the Pendleton Board Shirt — a heavyweight wool shirt that became the uniform of the West Coast surf scene. Made iconic by the Beach Boys (who were once called the Pendletones), this rugged beauty was born to ride the wave, dry off by the fire, and roll straight into town lookin’ sharp.

This one hails from the 1970s, and she’s got a color scheme that’ll make the leaves jealous — rich pumpkin orange, charcoal gray, and midnight navy plaid woven in pure virgin wool. That’s 100% U.S.-made wool, straight from Pendleton’s legendary Oregon mill, still humming since 1863. 🐑

This ain’t your average flannel — it's a wool shirt, heavyweight and ready for fall bonfires, backcountry hikes, or jukebox slow dances. No buttons on the chest pockets — true to the Board Shirt blueprint. Clean label, great condition, and all original buttons intact.
