This week is dedicated to the vintage OG-107 Army shirt - something I love so much that I have 4 different variations of in my personal closet.
The OG-107 Shirt is an Army green, cotton sateen button-up shirt, usually from the 1960s-1970s. I love them for their durability, their softness, and especially the cool factor if you find one with patches, repairs and/or sun fading. The material is a heavy-weight cotton, that only gets better with age. It’s super soft, layers well, and can be worn in so many ways that it truly is a workhorse of a garment - especially if you love the color green as much as I do.
I have always loved to source these shirts for my shop - seeking out the softest and most broken in pieces - ones that you will love and reach for as much as your favorite hoodie. I recently found one for myself that was so damaged, I ended up cutting off the sleeves and cropping so that I could layer it over long-sleeve turtlenecks for now, and pair with high waist pants in the spring and summer. I get so many compliments on it, that it inspired me to bring a few into the shop.
Each one has been lovingly hand-picked by me, and cut into cropped short-sleeve versions for you. You can explore the collection online, or swing by in-person at one of our up-coming events and pop-up markets. I’m also more than happy yo answer any sizing or styling questions before making your purchase. Please reach out any time!
Styling tips for the OG-107 cropped short sleeve shirt:
wear over a long-sleeve turtleneck or shirt, layer on the jewerly and pair with jeans
wear solo with high waist pants
wear open over a tee-shirt
wear under a v-neck sweater with the collar popped out
