US-Made Board Shirt
US-Made Board Shirt
The Pendleton woolen "Board Shirt" is a must-have for anyone lookin' to rope in some vintage perfection! Made in the USA from 100% virgin wool, this shirt’s got a legendary status. This shirt isn't just any plain plaid, but authentic "Dress Buccleugh Tartan".
Now, fair warning—this ol' shirt’s been through the wringer. At first glance, she looks mighty fine, but once you get up close, you’ll notice a few battle scars. There's a handful of small holes here and there, and the right sleeve has taken a real beatin’. But don’t fret—those little imperfections just give it some authentic campfire charm. Perfect for chores at the cabin or stokin' the fire, these "beauty marks" give this vintage shirt the kinda credibility that money can't buy.
And like all good vintage Pendletons, it's "Dry Clean Only".

The Pendleton Board Shirt
The Pendleton Board Shirt is a legend in its own right. Back in the 50s, Pendleton whipped up this woolen wonder for surfers in chilly California waters. It was warm as a campfire on a cold night and stylish enough to turn heads from the beach to the bar. With its straight-cut hem, it was perfect for that laid-back, untucked look surfers loved.
The Beach Boys were such big fans of Pendleton they originally called themselves "The Pendletones!" They famously wore Pendleton Board Shirts on the cover of their debut album "Surfin' Safari", released in 1962. The shirt became a symbol of cool, blending surf culture with timeless cowboy craftsmanship. Even today, it’s still a go-to for anyone who loves a bit of classic, rugged style.
