The Vintage Check Shirt comes with Haunt as the primary ability, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Clothing, prevents the wearer from also having Cold Blooded, Ninja Squid, or Recon. As a 3-star item, the Vintage Check Shirt comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities.

Trivia
- The Vintage Check Shirt is the most expensive piece of gear with Haunt in Splatoon, but not Splatoon 2 or Splatoon 3, due to the addition of the Negative Longcuff Sweater.
- The Vintage Check Shirt originally had spring green tartan stripes instead of magenta, and its buttons were red and slightly larger. This can be seen an image from the E3 2014 Splatoon demo, at which time the game had not been finalized.
