Harley-Davidson Men's White Textured Barkcloth Snap-Front Work Shirt
Harley-Davidson (Genuine Motor Clothes) · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Tops > Casual Button-Downs
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s; identified by the modern 'An American Legend' neck tag and the use of metal logo-embossed hardware.
Material
100% Cotton; heavy-duty textured barkcloth or corded weave. High-quality construction with metal shank buttons.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The fabric appears crisp; however, there is visible yellowing/discoloration on the inner neckband and potential faint spotting on the chest. No visible tears or missing buttons.
Demand Level
Strong. Harley-Davidson apparel remains a Top 10 searched brand on resale apps, though minimalist pieces like this appeal to a different 'Workwear' demographic than graphic hoodies.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$35.00 - $55.00 (Low: $25 for quick sale; High: $65 if professionally cleaned/whitened)
Estimated Retail Value
$65.00 - $85.00

Description
This vintage Harley-Davidson work shirt features a unique white textured cotton fabric, providing a rugged yet clean look. It includes dual chest pockets with snap closures, branded metal shank buttons, and a small metal logo tab on the left pocket. The shirt is cut in a relaxed fit with a straight hem, making it ideal for layering or wearing as a light shirt jacket.
Key Features
Subtle branding (not a loud graphic tee), metal embossed hardware, rare white colorway for the brand, heavy-duty utility construction, and the high-demand 'Y2K' modern vintage Harley-Davidson aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'An American Legend' woven tag, H-D branded metal hardware, high-quality heavy-duty stitching, and a branded metal tab. Interior wash tags are consistent with authentic licensed apparel.
Flaws to Note
Significant yellowing/sweat staining on the inner collar (common for white vintage), faint gray marks on the flap of the right pocket. Wrinkling from storage. Yellowing may require a deep oxiclean soak.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for Harley collectors), Depop (attracts younger 'workwear/vintage' buyers), and Poshmark (good for mid-range brand names).
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Barkcloth' or 'Textured' weave in the title using keywords like 'Biker,' 'Workwear,' 'Utility,' and 'Y2K.' Be sure to photograph the inner collar clearly to disclose wear. A warm Oxiclean soak before listing could increase the value by $20 by removing the neck yellowing.
