I am familiar with them - the original ones are the coolest and of course to find a NOS is the holy grail of Davinci shirts. It is nice to see them being reproduced again. Also the original ones from the 40's & 50's were always pure rayon.
DaVinci of California was originally started in the late 1940s producing high quality leisure suits. IN 1952 DaVinci became known for its classic two tone button down woven shirts, and fashion knits called Ban-lons. Hollywood, 1952: DaVinci Clothing is born and quickly becomes the style of choice for members of the swinging Rat Pack. Frank, Dean, and Sammy can't get enough and the rest of Hollywood is quick to follow.
I personally think they make a great addition to any vintage fella's wardrobe.
No not bad looking at all. I see them in the vintage clothing stores around town here and they were selling them for a pretty penny (I don't know about now though it has been several months since I have been in a vintage clothing store) also one time I found one in Salvation army for dirt cheap because they had no idea what they had. *I figured I had better edit this because I was speaking of the originals here.
