Vintage 50s Mens Rayon Gab Shirt Yellow VFG Small to Medium Gabanaro
A fabulous vintage shirt, an Arrow Gabanaro, which was extremely popular in the early 1950s - see vintage ads from 1950 and 1952. It has double patch chest pockets with flaps, and a back yoke with pleating below for ease.

CONDITION: This is in very good condition - I see a single pinhole above the right chest pocket - see closeup. There are no stains, 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.
