A really superb 1940s CC41 Utility labelled blouse or shirt by 'Londonus', made from a medium-weight densely woven but quite soft & flexible fabric which feels like a linen/rayon blend in red with white small polka-dots. It has an open neck with revers & pointed collar (there is no top fastening at the neck), a front yoke, single small square chest pocket, short sleeves & is darted all round to fit the waist. It fastens with small red early plastic cat-eye buttons & has an unusual embroidered (rather than the more common printed) CC41 label sewn to the side seam.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
