I was there for the 60's as well. My memory may have been dimmed a bit by time, but I was never a big fan of "better living through chemistry". I'll 'fess up to having had a couple of the "Ghillie" style shirts in the closet. One was even velour, heaven help me.
Mine had no coller, had a slit opening for about 6 inches down the front, there were no cuffs, and there was embroidered trim on the neck opening and where the cuffs would have been.
