Short-sleeved summer shirts

[Feraud]

Yep and before that they were called the "Kramer" shirt from Seinfeld.

Right... "the Kramer shirt..."

I'll stick with my guayaberas until some celebrity corrupts the look.

Thankfully, here in south Florida that association means nothing, and anyone can wear a guayabera without fear of that connotation. *Whew*!

You can't go wrong with a good ol' fashioned Camp shirt. With Camp, I mean the cut. They usually have a button loop, one or two chest pockets, and cut square at the bottom to just hang over your waistline.

Was there any typical norm one way or the other as to when these ss shirts were worn tucked in or out back in the day?

You can tuck them in, but they look terrible in my opinion and weren't made to be tucked in.

I can't think of any of my ss camp shirts that I would tuck in.

Most authentic 50's shirts are cut to just hang over the waist, so there isn't enough fabric to tuck.
