Men\'s 50\'s shirt with embroidered...coffee pots?

Huh? I don't get it. What are these little embroidered thingies next to the copper colored embroidered squiggles...coffee pots or...?

What is THAT?

The middle one almost looks like a trophy, the others....lidded beer steins?

No idea, man. Cool shirt !!

Kim, what an ultra-cool shirt! I think Ang's right--the "pots" look like beer steins to me.

This is a "man's man" sports shirt! As in, hoist the sports trophy and toast to it! I can see a guy wearing to his softball or bowling banquet, or lodge league (of whatever sport) dinner....

Those squiggly rectangles are interesting. I wonder if they are just pure decoration or if they represent something?

 

[vintageclothesline]

I agree! Cool shirt!

Ahhh, beer steins and trophies! GOOD one! That's WAY manlier than coffee pots and...egg cups... or something...

(And those squiggles are killing me...no idea if that's supposed mean anything, but I guess it doesn't really matter, does it?)

I always wonder if stuff like that is meant to cover up a problem:
"Oh no, floppy interfacing, add some embroidery squiggles to flatten it," or "Oh no, the manly embroidered motifs pulled threads and puckered the fabric, add some embroidery squiggles to hide it..."

Super great shirt!

Well it's new old stock with tags and Arrow to boot, so no botched flaw covery with this one. But otherwise I could see that theory would work!

That's so sporty and excellent!
