Longline vintage patch shirt

Description:

Celebrate iconic 1970s Australiana and outback folklore with this handcrafted, upcycled vintage patch shirt.

 Masterfully constructed from repurposed vintage souvenir linen tea towels and cotton/rayon vintage tablecloth, this piece combines bold graphic storytelling with retro textile design.

The front features a striking split layout: one side showcases an authentic Northern Territory crocodile river illustration with an Australia map graphic, while the opposing side is crafted from a retro geometric floral textile in warm mustard yellow, olive green, and gold. Dark tortoiseshell-style buttons line the off-white center placket.

The highlight of this collector’s garment is the entire back panel, featuring a bold, red-bordered "Queensland - Australia's Sunshine State" souvenir graphic detailed with state maps, koalas, tropical fruit, stockmen on horseback, and Brisbane coastal views. Tailored in an easy, boxy silhouette with an oversized pointed collar, short sleeves, and high side vents.
