1980s Closet Preppy Duck - XL
1980s Closet Preppy Duck - XL
Description
A navy duck sits above a pink “Closet Preppy” graphic, giving the front a color combination that doesn’t hold back. The back stays completely blank, leaving everything to the illustration and lettering.
An ’80s tee on a Made in USA Super Screen Stars body, with single-stitch construction and a longer, slimmer silhouette. I’m drawn to the contrast between the traditional duck illustration and the bold pink beneath it.
Measurements – Laid Flat:
Shoulders: 19”
Chest width: 21”
Length: 30”
Sleeve: 8”
Fit Note:
Tagged XL with a slim vintage fit and a longer body. Not a roomy modern XL. Compare confirmed laid-flat measurements with a shirt you already own before purchasing.
RELIC NOTES:
This piece had a life before it got here. The fade, the wear, the softened fabric and the small imperfections are all part of where it’s been. We don’t erase the story. Look through the images. Check the laid-flat measurements. Know the relic before you claim it.
CARE INFO
Some pieces may be missing their original care tags, a trace of their age and a life already lived. When an original care label remains, follow its instructions first. Otherwise, use the guide that best matches the garment.
COTTON + GRAPHIC TEES
Machine wash cold, preferably inside out, using a gentle cycle. Hang to dry to help preserve the fabric, color and graphic. If needed, tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and never iron directly over printed artwork.
POLYESTER + SYNTHETIC FABRICS
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high heat, which may damage the fabric or graphic. Hang to dry whenever possible. If needed, tumble dry using the lowest heat setting.
HAND-WASH PIECES
Recommended for delicate knits, lace, crochet, lightweight wool and other fragile fabrics when appropriate. Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring, twist or aggressively agitate. Carefully press out excess water using a clean towel. Lay knitwear flat to dry; lightweight woven pieces may be hung to dry.
DRY-CLEAN PIECES
Professional cleaning is recommended for structured or fully lined coats, blazers and suits; delicate wool, velvet, silk or acetate garments; heavily embellished pieces; and fragile vintage clothing. Whenever possible, use a cleaner experienced in handling vintage garments.
LEATHER + SUEDE
Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Leather and suede should be handled by a professional cleaner who specializes in these materials.
