Welcome to American Vintage Blues!



LOOKING FOR a particular era or style of vintage clothing? Use our handy dandy search engine and enter the era, style, or color (i.e. 1940s, 50s, swing, black pumps)

 

 

 

Quick Measuring Tip: Take a similar item of your own clothing (shirt, jeans, dress) and lay it flat; smooth it out and make sure it is buttoned or zipped. Take a tape measure and measure the chest, shoulders, waist, sleeve length (if necessary) straight across, making sure the tape measure is tight from side to side or top to bottom (seam to seam). *If you're measuring a jacket or shirt, to get the chest measurement, measure from the outside edge of the armpit to the opposite outside edge of the armpit.* Shoulder measurements are taken straight across the top of the shoulders from seam to seam. Write these measurements down, then multiply them by 2 (i.e. if the chest on your favorite shirt measures 21" from armpit to armpit, then it's actually a 42"). Compare them to the item(s) you're interested in on our site and voila! You'll know if it will work for you. You can always measure yourself, but the clothing method works best as that is how our measurements are taken.

Item #or868, Exquisite & Rare Men's 1940s Leafy Print Rayon Robe

  • Ravishing and rare men's textured rayon robe in a gorgeous autumnal leaf print on a dark grass green background

  • Ca. 1940s, 'Style Craft Robe' label
  • This is a substantial rayon (or rayon blend) textured robe - not like the limp, silky rayon robes of today; has all the details too from graduated lapels to a 3 pocket front (one on the left chest, two rounded slanted patch pockets - one on each hip) All pockets have the flapover top. Rounded cuffs.
  • Robe is unlined and has the matching belt; French (double) seaming.
  • Measures an approx size M/L - up to 40" chest (belted), 20" straight across shoulders, 36" waist (belted), 45" total length from shoulder to hemline, arm length is 31" from midneck to cuff edge.
  • In excellent condition with no holes, stains, fade, etc.; there is a small amount of discoloration/age yellowing inside the neckline (very common in rayon that is 60 years old and was worn!), there is a 3" repair to the edge of the belt, as well as a bit of age darkening to the underside of the cuffs. That is all - very wearable, very sturdy, very clean with crisp, bright colors. So much prettier than our photos show.
  • Gorgeous, one-of-a-kind gift for that vintage lover! You won't find another like this anywhere else.....
