Vintage Textiles #2

It's not just historic architecture that I've got a soft spot for. I also adore vintage: Vintage housewares, vintage decor, basically vintage in all categories. I don't have a lot of vintage clothing in my wardrobe, but every now and then I find a great piece. Some of the selections here are from my wardrobe, others are those I've seen out and about, and some will be up for sale in the near future.

This patriotic red, white, and blue plaid is the textile used in a fabulous button-down Western shirt I discovered several years ago. It's a great, lightweight material, and is probably a great top to be worn to 4th of July cookouts and picnics (if you can handle wearing long sleeves in a hot climate). I'd estimate this shirt was made in the 1970s, and is a fine relic of a time when clothing was rather colorful. This shirt will eventually be up for sale, and would look mighty fine in any closet.
