Men’s Shoulder Patch Shirt

This rather odd shirt likely hails from the early post-Ziegler years, when the company was trying to figure out just where it stood in the fashion world. The example shown here is more in keeping with the Ralph Lauren look than Classic BR, and it’s a good companion to that curious jacket we’ve dubbed the “Shooting Jacket” (see: “This wasn’t in the catalogue…” ) and the Padded Shoulder Vest.

The second photo shows the shoulder patch continuing onto the back yoke. Perhaps the intent is to provide some reinforcement whilst toting a shoulder bag?
