A FAVORITE MEN’S RAYON BATHROBE WITH AN ATOMIC PRINT FROM THE 1940’S – 1950’S

A FAVORITE MEN'S RAYON BATHROBE WITH AN ATOMIC PRINT FROM THE 1940'S - 1950'S

I’ve got a couple of men’s bath/smoking robes of this style – each with a very different feel. This rayon one is “dashing” and “modern” in color and fabric design, though it’s been around for a long time.

The satin trim is classic, as well as the style, which endures even now.

These fashions always remind me of film noir, a favorite genre of mine. See you tomorrow.

OK, here’s the other men’s robe in my collection and, dare I say, it’s better than the last one! Same styling; marvelous black satin sash and trim but . . . . . . ..

look at that fabulous silky rayon(?) fabric and the really cool abstract/atomic pattern!! That’s what makes me suspect that it could be older than the last one.

This one really hangs out in the library with a cigar and a glass of cognac. Maybe you’re listening to Dick Tracy or The Shadow on WSPY.

Never mind. If the sleeves weren’t way too long, I’d probably be wearing it right now. Fixing that little issue would not be a big thing, but I also love it just as it is. Madge doesn’t care. Maybe one of these days . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
