<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9906932, member: 82566&quot;]hi everyone.&nbsp; i&#039;ve been selling vintage Hawaiian shirts for a long time and in the past, i&#039;ve never spent that much time studying details all that closely.&nbsp; i recently bought this piece.&nbsp; there&#039;s no label, so any researching the manufacturer is off the table.&nbsp; however, what i&#039;ve noticed is, the buttons and button holes appear to be hand sewn.&nbsp; i know that this is a characteristic of earlier, pre WWII era shirts(as is the fact that it&#039;s silk).&nbsp; in the past i&#039;ve always assumed that shirts with this sort of print art were mid to late 50s era.&nbsp; now i&#039;m wondering if this is possibly a much older shirt(at least as it relates to Hawaiian shirt manufacturing).&nbsp; does anyone here have specific knowledge of manufacturers using these construction techniques as late as the mid 1950s?&nbsp; i don&#039;t consider this any incredible shirt, but with a reasonable argument that it&#039;s an early piece, it might be worth more money.&nbsp; any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks[ATTACH=full]497769[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497770[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497771[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497772[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497773[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497774[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]497775[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
