Thrift store purchase from a few days ago. Wembley, feels like rayon/acetate, c.late-'50s.
Closer view of the pattern.
Thanks, you guys!
Amazing that they still had the original tags on them after fifty odd years of storage. Good find.
In 1953, Dupont opened its plant to produce Dacron on a large scale so it dates after that and probably before 1965. It looks too wide to be anything worn after that time---until the 70s of course.:eeek::eusa_doh:
The black with gold has a label that reads, "Wembley Drip-Dry; wear with brown or green suit." Black and old gold are the colors of the university I teach at so maybe I'll show some Boilermaker spirit by wearing it to work.
^^It appears so, as are Settings.
