These vintage 🦍 yellow tag half zip shirts were, to the best of my knowledge, in production from the early to mid 70s and can be found in a wide variety of colors that have long been discontinued, these are most of the ones I have in my collection at this time. could be found randomly in stores through the mid 80s and even into the 90s. Hell I’ve even found yellow tag pants in stores in the 2010s. 🦧⚜️

Who still has some of these in their collection? Or better yet, who has some colors that I don’t have?

I’ll be bringing out a few of these gems at the
this Friday at to kick off the Cinco de Mayo weekend celebrations! 🇲🇽

Over the years I’ve exchanged many messages with many of you trying to determine age of vintage pieces. Since the brand long predates the internet and most of our lifetimes and there unfortunately is no published guide that I’m aware of, I’ve had to rely on building community for the exchange of tribal knowledge from other passionate collectors.

While there are many different identifiers, the half zips are a bit easier to date based on pocket tag. To the best of my knowledge, these silkscreened tags were in production in the mid 1970s and most shirts with this tag also have the oversized 70s pointed collar.

Personally, this tag is one of my favorites but be careful with these if you have any because they tend to fade in the wash over time.
