ARCHIVAL Vtg 1980s Mitchell & Ness Roberto Clemente Pirates WOOL Jersey 46 USA For Sale

True first-generation archival artifact from Mitchell & Ness\'s legendary early production era: a 1960 Roberto Clemente Pittsburgh Pirates sleeveless vest jersey. Unlike modern reproductions mass-produced overseas, this is a highly coveted 1980s original featuring the vintage script \"Nostalgia Co.\" neck label, a separate size 46 flag tag, and the definitive \"Made in USA\" 100% wool care label. The grade, weight, and texture of the raw American-sourced wool from this era are vastly superior to any contemporary reissue. Provenance & Storage Condition: This jersey has been stored untouched in a family home since it was purchased brand new in the 1980s. It has never been washed, laundered, or chemically dry cleaned, perfectly preserving the structural integrity of the original wool weave, the vibrant colorway, and the factory adhesive backing on the premium twill \"PIRATES\" letters and \"21\" numbers.Condition Notes (Please Review Carefully):Fabric: Due to long-term storage, the raw wool has some moth damage. Most of the damage is on the back. Tags: The original paper retail hangtag and the serialized MLB Authentic Collection holographic tracking sticker are included and in fantastic condition, though they have physically separated from the plastic collar fastener.This is a premier piece for hardcore baseball historians, vintage sportswear purists, and serious Roberto Clemente collectors looking to own a slice of early Mitchell & Ness manufacturing history at a massive discount due to the noted storage flaws.Please review all high-resolution photos carefully, and feel free to reach out with any questions!
