One more for today lol. Mens shirt philipines? date please

Unsure how to date this one also...

50s/60s? no label just L in neck. VERY small for a modern large lol. Fits the hubby perfect but no wiggle room and he is a Medium.

The palm trees and the Philippines is all embroidered on the shirt. Then the seams are crocheted together? on the actual bodice/chest it is machine stitched together and the brown goes through where the two materials meet. Then on the arms the armhole and the sleeve are hemmed separately and then the crochet goes through each individual piece so when worn a little skin can be see.

To me very unique

Tourist shirt?
Key words, date and possible value or low end asking price (if I am allowed to ask on here)

Thank you again.

I have been saving for a few months, I might pull some other stuff out of the wood work soon lol!

Jennifer, I am SO not good at dating/pricing this sort of stuff, but wanted to tell you it is just the coolest shirt! I hope somebody comes along who knows something.....

 

[Vintage_Visage]

Thank you, me too!

I was going to let hubby have it but I saw that there was no range of motion for him and I think I would die a little if he ripped it!

I get the impression of 70s 80s for some reason. What is the fabric?

 

[Dorothea01]

What is this style

 

[cotmyey]

There is a specific name for these shirts.... the name is searched... give me a minuite to see if I can find my research...

 

[cotmyey]

K, the info I had was on Barong Tagalog shirts. Yours is not quite the same. It is a Phillipine version of the Guayabara shirt, touristy... late 70's...

 

[cmpollack]

i was thinking guayabera, too.

no idea on the date, but my hunch is that gayle has it nailed...

something about the crocheted seam treatment, which shows up often in western clothes then--if this was made for the tourist market, perhaps using crocheted seams was a way of 'updating' the traditional guayabera...

Thank you all, I got it with a lot of hawaiian and guayabera ahirts but it didnt seem quite like one to me lil. Thank you somuch. Any idea in fair price. It is in perfect condition.
