The Piece
The sibling to item 15 — another Towncraft Plus board shirt from Penneys, this time in a golden mustard and grey shadow plaid that practically glows. Where the teal version is moody and coastal, this one is warm and autumnal, the kind of shirt that looks like it was made to be worn picking apples or sitting around a campfire in Big Sur circa 1962. Same construction DNA: 90% reprocessed wool, 10% nylon, made in Korea for Penneys during the era when WPL numbers still meant something traceable.
Details
Board shirt silhouette with camp/loop collar. Two chest pockets with button-down flaps. Button-front closure with dark buttons. Fully lined in black. Tagged M-15-15½. Made in Republic of Korea. The "reprocessed wool" designation means the wool was recycled from existing garments — an early sustainability play that also gives the fabric a distinctive texture and character you can't get from virgin wool.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The wool has developed an honest patina from decades of wear — softened throughout with that lived-in hand feel that wool collectors chase. No holes, no moth damage visible. Colors remain warm and saturated. All buttons present and functional. Clean and ready to wear.
