    Description

    I bet you've never seen this exact shirt before.  Someone was a crazy good fisherman back in the day. In fact, it looks like they owned the sport in Texas from the mid 70's to the mid 80's.
    The patches include the Toledo Bend Top 6 in 1976 and 1980. The Falcon Top Six in 1977.
    TABC
    Regional (Region VII) Qualifying Tournament Patches for 1977, 1978, 1980, and 1981. It includes a 1986 Lake Mead U.S. BASS Tropicana West World Team Championship Patch. There are also chain stitched patches for the Texas All State Team in 1978 and 1980. Seriously, this belonged to an all star.
    Some of the patches are whip stitched on. Some are ironed on. I would recommend stitching all of them down properly if you were going to go out and wear it.
    The shirt itself doesn't really look worn. The denim is very soft, so I would bet it was washed before they started applying patches...but then never again.  It is almost (but not quite) like a lightweight jacket with hand warmer pockets. If the shirt had no patches on it, it would still be an extremely cool survivor from several decades ago.
    It is a vintage men's medium with the actual measurements in the photos.
    It won't last long before this is in someone's man cave (or She Shed). :-) I'm open to offers but will wait a while before drastically reducing the price.
