My wife ran across such an item just last week (during a local dollar-day thrift blowout), a rather hilarious vintage (likely 50s or so) men's pajamas top with a really great print
100% cotton and sanforized, this particular top has probably been washed dozens of times and is soft as the softest flannel sheet. A person crazier than myself might try wearing it outside the house just to cause a stir, but I'm guessing it will be little more than a really comfortable shell for my nighttime wind-down as it begins to cool in the approach to fall.
Here's a detail of the great print, including the dapper couple "You-Me," which unfortunately doesn't depict the correct hair color for my wife. Oh well, it's not like I'm going to wear it in public anyway.
Hee-larious!! You have to model these units! Visions of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.
ReplyDeleteCome on, you couldn't model them for us?
ReplyDeleteI think I would lose many of the few readers that I have if I started modeling pajamas around here, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.
ReplyDeleteI do have an amazing vintage satin smoking jacket (also thrifted) that I may have to do a post about here in the fall sometime. If I'm feeling really crazy I'll wear this underneath it. :)
