<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9907054, member: 82566"]hi, yes, i agree with you about the collar. to me it looks mid to late 50s. the fabric is a very sheer silk that's common in older shirts of this period. the seams are very neatly sewn along the inside. the edges along inside of the placard are both selvedge edged. the mismatching pockets is common on old Hawaiian shirts. these shirts were, in their day, inexpensively made tourist apparel and sportswear, whether they were made in Hawaii or here on the mainland. that's why this piece has me wondering. by the 50s manufacturers were machine sewing buttons and button holes pretty routinely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
