TRUE VINTAGE AMERICAN WOOL JUMPER DRESS FROM THE LATE ’50’S OR EARLY ’60’S
TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – EARLY ’60’S SWEATER JACKET WITH BEADING
TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – EARLY ’60’S SWEATER JACKET WITH BEADING

A most lady-like sweater-jacket, lined in acetate. The heavily-beaded design is repeated on the back, as well. 3/4 sleeves add to that vibe – so Kennedy Era . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Jackets like this were worn over sheath dresses, with slacks and skirts. This one is by Banff, a former maker of fine knits. Remember the yellow summer sweater I showed a couple of months ago? Same maker.
These were available for sale at fine department stores and in small specialty shops, sometimes in popular vacation areas.
Again, not my color but, hey, the right necklace or scarf/blouse/dress underneath can take care of that in no time . . . . . . . . . . . . .

MY SECOND MEN’S BATHROBE FROM THE ’50’S – ’60’S, WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VIBE
MY SECOND MEN’S BATHROBE FROM THE ’50’S – ’60’S, WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VIBE

You see how classic – this robe is made in the same style as the one I showed a few days ago, with the same, now rare, black satin trim. However, the feel is completely different.
This robe is of Sanforized cotton, in a very traditional medallion print. The fabric is slightly lighter-weight and much more “conservative”.
I suspect that this robe is also from the 1950’s, or the late 1940’s. Menswear has rarely been as lavish as women’s and this one was not a luxury item, but these satin-trimmed robes are special.
Makes me think of a man of distinction; a real big spender . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
