Vintage 50s Striped Shirt Rockabilly Dark Torino Large VFG
This shirt looks and feels like a classic midcentury piece - most likely 1950s vintage but could be a bit later. Or earlier! It has a great casual vibe and could be worn as a shirt on its own or an overshirt. The cut is boxy, with an open collar, straight cut bottom and faux cuffs that do not open. Seams are all flat felled. Three nice size patch pockets with cuffs.
SIZE: Labeled 1 - not sure what that means. The measurements suggest size Large to me.

FABRIC/COLORS: A medium to heavy weight cotton with woven striping that looks allover gray from a distance, but is richly varied as you get closer. The primary color is charcoal gray with shades of lighter gray, ombre emerald green and goldenrod.
TAGS: Torino, Sanforized
CLOSURES: Four plastic buttons down the front
CONDITION: Some of the buttonhole stitching has gotten a little wonky, primarily at the top and bottom. - see closeup for example. The density of the fabric has prevented fraying but you may want to add a bit of stitching. Also, there is a small area of light fade on one side of the shirt front, between the bottom two buttonholes - see other closeup. It did not change with hand washing.
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.
