Vintage Early 1980s Harley Davidson Thermal

Vintage Early 1980s Harley Davidson Thermal – Raglan Waffle Henley – Lufkin Texas Shop Shirt – XL

This is the kind of Harley piece that only comes around once in a while, the real deal, worn in, American road history stitched into every thread.

An early 1980s Harley Davidson raglan waffle thermal, made back when motorcycle culture was grit, grease, and long highway miles. The classic Harley-Davidson Motorcycles wings logo hits the front, bold and unmistakable, while the back features a shop graphic from Snakes in Lufkin, Texas, grounding this piece in a real place and time. As if that was not enough, there is also a Harley graphic running down one sleeve, a detail collectors love and rarely find intact.

The red raglan sleeves, soft waffle knit texture, and two button henley neckline give it that perfect broken-in biker meets vintage athletic feel. You can picture this layered under a leather jacket at a roadside stop in the early 80s, and today it wears just as well with denim, boots, and a little edge.

This is not just a shirt; it is a piece of American motorcycle history.

This thermal is beautifully worn in with the soft, broken-in feel that only 45 years can create. The waffle knit has relaxed over time, giving it that authentic vintage drape.

Expect signs of age consistent with true vintage clothing, including gentle fading, possible light pilling, and minor wear. Nothing that takes away from the wearability or the impact of the graphics, just proof this piece has lived a real life.

Please review photos for full condition details, and remember, vintage is meant to show its story.
