If it’s warmth you seek, look no further than Army field shirts from World War II or lumberjack shirts from the ’50s. Maybe round things out with ’80s Nike high-tops or one of those old-school Pittsburgh Pirates hats.

And while you’re at it, something for yourself amid the dozens of vintage concert shirts. (We suggest the Scorpions, just in case you’re short on inspiration.)
