50s Men's Vintage Shirt by Hagoromo Japan Long Sleeve Slubbed Silk Small to Medium VFG
This is a killer shirt, vintage 1950s, and the slubbed silk fabric hangs beautifully! French cuffs, two patch chest pockets with flaps, curvy slightly oversized collar, flat felled seaming, back yoke for ease.
SIZE: No size label. I would estimate it to be a Men's small or Women's medium

FABRIC/COLORS: Medium weight silk, with nice draping qualities. The weave is slubbed, using beige and dark red, creating a subtle over-all variation. From a distance, it looks like muted pink.

CLOSURES: Four white plastic buttons down the front, with a smaller white collar button and loop. Since these are French cuffs, you will need to roll them up, or use cuff links.
CONDITION: Excellent. I have repaired a small area of open seam. I see a subtle tan discoloration in the right shoulder area - I can only find it when I look in strong sunlight. No other issues seen.
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.
