40s 50s Vintage Yellow Check Argyle Print Cotton Summer Robe Faultless Wilson Brothers VFG
A wardrobe basic - men's summer robe - with quirky charm! The collar points and print say 1940s vintage to me. I haven't seen a men's loungewear piece with an asymmetrical closure before. It is long sleeved with sewn cuffs, and has patch handwarmer pockets as well as short side slits.

CLOSURES: Four large plastic buttons, with a small button and loop at the collar. There are self-fabric belt loops, but no belt. The chain belt shown in one photo is from my closet, and not included with purchase.
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
