1934 SUGAR CANE WORLD'S FAIR SOUVENIR SHIRT sz M

Description

Website Description:
"This shirt design is based on a style sold at the 1934 Chicago World’s Fair “Century of Progress.” Every original and distinctive styling feature found on the vintage shirt that inspired this recreation has been reproduced, including all-cotton selvage fabric produced on vintage shuttle looms in a classic blue chambray dyed with 100% natural indigo, reinforced shoulder yoke, exposed red-line selvage edges on both sides of the interior frontal closure, asymmetric pockets, metal buttons specially treated to prevent rusting, and even authentic labeling. The indigo-dyed chambray used on this shirt, which is so tightly woven and fine, it looks and feels more like super-fine linen than cotton.
100% cotton 5.75 Oz."
Measurements: Chest 21.3", Length 28.0", Sleeve 32.7", Shoulder 17.3". Shirt has been hand washed and lined dried.
