A beautiful vintage 1930s/1940s shirt by 'Consulate', made from a fine cotton end-on-end weave fabric in pale greenish grey with wide-spiced white stripes. Unusually for a British shirt of this period it is full front-opening or coat style, with an attached Trubenised self-stiffened 'spearpoint' collar, long tails with reinforcing gussets, & long sleeves pleated into single, buttoned cuffs; the buttons are mother-of-pearl.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
Size: Marked Size 2 neck, suggested Extra Small - see measurements below. Shown on a mannequin with a 38" chest. All measurements are external, taken with the garment laid flat, to be doubled where appropriate (with approx. metric equivalent): Collar from button to buttonhole: 14 1/2" (37cm) Chest from pit to pit: 20" (51 cm) Shoulder seam to seam: 15 1/2" (39 cm) Sleeve shoulder to cuff: 23 1/2" (59.7 cm) Sleeve pit to cuff: 21" (53cm) Back length (base of collar at back to hem): 36" (91.5cm)
Condition: In good to very good condition overall, with some minor flaws: the collar fold has begun to wear through in a few spots - there are some scattered faint brownish spots & marks, mostly on the sleeves. Has been gently washed & pressed prior to listing.
I have a no returns policy - please check the above measurements and compare to a similar garment of your own before buying - no refund offered for items that don’t fit.
