Description
True vintage Harley-Davidson long-sleeve button-down shirt in a rare off-white/cream corduroy. Features unique flame and 'Harley-Davidson' banner embroidery on the sleeve cuff, branded metal buttons, and a button-down collar. The back likely features a large logo (standard for this specific line). Durable, heavy material perfect for layering or riding.
Key Features
Subtle branding on cuff, high-quality metal hardware, rare white corduroy colorway (more unique than standard black/denim), Y2K aesthetic popularity, and 'An American Legend' tag status.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic 'An American Legend' black cloth neck label, 'Harley-Davidson' branded inner neck tape, and embossed metal buttons. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor yellowing around the inner collar (common in white vintage), potential for small stains that stand out on white fabric. Check for missing buttons as these specific metal shanks are harder to replace.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for older collectors), Depop (highest price point for Y2K/streetwear), and Poshmark (general audience).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Biker-core', 'Y2K', 'Streetwear', and 'Embroidered'. Take a photo of the back as it likely has a logo. Wash with an oxy-cleaner to ensure 'bright white' status before photographing. List in the Fall or Spring for peak biker demand.
