Bowling shirts are short-sleeved, button-up shirts known for their loose fit, camp collars, and bold colour-blocking or embroidered designs. Originally popularised in the 1950s, these shirts became synonymous with the golden age of bowling, a sport that saw a massive rise in leagues and social clubs across America.

Beyond the lanes, bowling shirts found their way into retro fashion scenes, embraced by musicians, greasers, and pop culture icons. Their lightweight fabric and relaxed silhouette make them a favourite for casual wear in the summer, often personalised with team names, vintage-inspired motifs, or custom embroidery. Today, they remain a symbol of mid-century Americana, blending sport, fashion, and nostalgia into one timeless garment.

Stan Ray's bowling shirt is heavily inspired by those original '50s shirts - featuring a loose, laid back fit, breezy lightweight fabric, straight-cut hem and all-important embroidery on the chest.
