RARE FIND! TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S MEN’S COTTON PAJAMAS – JUST WHAT I’D BEEN DREAMING OF . . . . . .

IMG_1669The most comfy, wonderful 100% cotton sleepwear in near-perfect condition.  I’m in heaven!  It has been years since my last pair was discovered, and I’ve been thinking about finding more . . . . . . . …

And, in a great color for me.  Blue always seems to be the men’s favorite.  Love the classic medallion print and big front buttons.  The waist closes with two buttons in front, and there’s stretchy elastic across the back.

Although it’s a vintage large size, the pants fit fabulously – not too big, not too long.  “Will wonders never cease?”  This pair was made in Canada for Simpson Sears, when the Simpson’s department store company was amalgamated with Sears & Roebuck up north.

Perfect now that evenings are getting cooler.  No matter how hot and humid it may be during the day, I’m finding the urge to snuggle up at night . . . . . . . . . . . .

3 TRUE VINTAGE NATIVE AMERICAN/HAWAIIAN COSTUMES FROM THE 1940'S - 1950'S

I’ll be heading out West again in early September, so it is appropriate to show my great Native American/Hawaiian 2-piece dresses. The two on the right are from Arizona, made by a company called Thunderbird Fashions which made lots of Western-wear dresses, blouses and skirts back in the day.

Like a couple of the other items I’ve shown before, they are of heavy cotton with loads of braid trim, ric-rac and color! The blouses have a side zipper at the waist.

The outfit on the left was made in Hawaii, about the same time. It is interesting that there are so many similarities in the style. No zipper in this blouse, and the contrast is in the fabric panel on the bodice.

Both styles have a flattering fit, with a wasp waist and free hips. I love wearing them on cooler days in the Summer and Fall and sometimes wear…
