Alan Flusser Geometric Pattern Short Sleeve Button-Down Shirt
Alan Flusser · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Tops > Casual Shirts
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s based on the blue woven neck tag design and the oversized, relaxed silhouette typical of that era.
Material
Likely a Rayon or Silk-Polyester blend. The drape suggests a soft, breathable synthetic or semi-synthetic fiber intended to mimic silk.
Condition
Very Good. The shirt appears structurally sound with no major visible holes or tears. Some minor wrinkling from storage/rack wear is present.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a steady market for vintage-style geometric button-downs, particularly in spring and summer months for the 'vintage streetwear' or 'grandpa chic' look.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for older brands/vintage), Depop (if marketed to Gen-Z as 'vintage 90s'), and Poshmark. Facebook Marketplace is less ideal unless bundled.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like '90s', 'Y2K', 'Geometric', 'Earth Tones', and 'Dad Shirt'. Steam the garment before photography to highlight the drape of the fabric. Measure the pit-to-pit and length, as 90s sizing often runs larger than modern slim-fit clothing.
