TRUE VINTAGE MEN'S SHIRTS FROM THE 1950'S THAT I LOVE TO WEAR!

These shirts are small men’s or large boys’ sizes that I can (just) wear and I LOVE THEM!!!! The fun stitching detail on the blue one and the fabulous print designs on the red ones are wonderful.

These were all commercially – made garments. The boys’ ones may have been sold in chain stores like J.C. Penney or Sears and Roebuck or Montgomery Ward – maybe elsewhere.

The boys’ shirts are made of a quite substantial cotton and the blue one, which is a man’s size, is lighter weight and might be a vintage rayon fabric, which is almost always really nice because of how it feels and fits.

Of course, these shirts don’t have a feminine fit, but still can look amazing on us girls and are so much fun to wear. A really nice edge-into-Fall element for your wardrobe, and I’ll be showing more . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yes, and Suzie sells sea-shells by the sea shore. I just love shirts like this. Again, it’s the material that sets it apart from the lookalikes being made today. When you learn how to spot the real thing, you’ll rarely have to look twice.

Can’t you just see that Happy Days dad out there tending the barbecue? Or, maybe, Ken coming to pick up Barbie for a picnic lunch?

This is the kind of thing to be wearing now, guys, or put it under a sport jacket in Spring or Fall. It’s a shirt-tail that is meant to wear outside or tucked in. Very versatile.

It’s sure to make the vintage-savvy women in your world smile 🙂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE GREEN & WHITE WOOL & LEATHER VARSITY LETTERMAN’S JACKET FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Here’s a traditional letter jacket in the perfect colors for this weekend’s activities, of almost any sort.    In the past, a letter jacket could almost replace a suit coat (for a student – not his dad).  They seemed to have the status that military uniform jackets sometimes do.

Picture this with a shirt and tie, a V or crew-neck sweater at the Irish pub tonight –

This one has had it’s patches removed and looks like it never had many, it’s in such good shape. Although it’s big for me, how could I not buy it when it turned up?  It would be fun to know its history, which might be possible to put together from the colors and the location where it was found.  Maybe I’ll do that detective work someday.  Mysteries are always fun, and you just never know . . . . . . . . . . ..
