When it's time to Black and Gold on the North Shore, this classic Buccos cut delivers timeless Steel City grit.
Key Highlights at a Glance
- Classic button-down baseball front with smooth, evenly spaced buttons that stay flat

Layering Guide: April Chill to August Heat
Tailgate uniform: jersey, shorts, sneakers, cold drink. Nothing else needed, and it works from the parking lot to the upper deck.
For the fan who already owns everything, a fresh colorway is the safe move. It adds to the collection without duplicating it.
Sizing & On-Body Feel
Cut with a relaxed athletic shape, it leaves room through the chest and shoulders for real movement. Clap, stretch, reach over the railing, and it stays put.
The fabric holds color without feeling plastic. It drapes instead of standing away from the body, which is why it works outside the ballpark too.
Closer Look: Placket, Twill & Seams
The wordmark sits centered and proportional. No crooked placement, no washed-out color, no loose thread waiting to unravel in the dryer.

Good to Know Before You Order
Do the stitched letters and numbers feel scratchy on the inside?
Not at all. While the exterior features crisp tackle twill with raised stitching for that classic stadium look, the interior backing is finished smoothly so it won't chafe against bare skin when worn solo in the summer.
Are the buttons spaced closely enough so the front doesn't gap?
Yes. The placket uses reinforced flat-seam construction with properly spaced buttons across the chest and midsection, preventing awkward gapping whether you're sitting in the bleachers or standing up for a home run.
How do I wash this jersey without ruining the twill numbers?
Button it up completely, turn it inside out, and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Always hang it to air dry — never use a hot dryer or iron directly over the lettering.
Does this jersey have a straight bottom or a rounded baseball hem?
It features the traditional rounded droptail baseball hem with a clean woven locker tag at the lower left front, designed specifically to look sharp worn untucked over jeans or shorts.
Ready for the ballpark
Pick your size and check out. This one belongs in the bag for the next road trip.
Care note: Cold water, mild detergent, no bleach. Air dry flat or on a hanger. A quick steam beats an iron if it comes out of a suitcase creased.
