Ponderosa was one of those brands that existed in the shadow of Pendleton and Woolrich — same Pacific Northwest DNA, same commitment to heavyweight wool, just less name recognition. Which means you get the same shirt your grandfather trusted for a fraction of what the marquee labels command. This one is a hunter-green, rust, and cream plaid with a weight and hand that says it was built for actual weather, not just Instagram layering.

Condition
Good vintage condition. Label is heavily worn and fraying but still legible. Wool has a soft, broken-in hand with no pilling or holes. All buttons are intact and functional. No stains or repairs. A well-worn shirt that has plenty of life left.
