•Fabric(s): twill-woven pure cotton, made in the USA

•Lined: no

•Closures: front button fly

•Designer/Labels: Gung Ho, made in the USA...according to some of the hangtags, they've been around since the 1926 (???)

All accessories (belts, jewelry, crinolines, pins, etc.) are for style inspiration only unless indicated.

♛Measurements

These are the measurements of the garment taken flat and doubled. Be sure to take your waist measurement at the top of the short's rise (center crotch measured up to waist). Add a little wiggle room for a great comfy fit! The belt loops can also be used to add your own belt and nip the waist smaller.

Measure the rise against your body to see where the waist will hit on you, then encircle this area with your measuring tape and add a little room. You can simulate fit of the short's various dimensions by encircling them with the tape using these measurements.

There's little to no stretch to these! Make sure you allow room for every dimension so you are comfy!

♛Condition

Unworn/deadstock with tags. 40+ years old.

I didn't see any overt flaws or issues across this group. A few showed subtle shelf soiling that will lift with first cleaning. Nothing overt!

It's reasonable that there could be a tiny imperfection or sign of their age, easily missed. I make every effort to inspect and cull out items aren't up to snuff.

Sold as-found and with tags attached. Dry cleaning or laundering is not included in our price, but these can be cared for simply, like any well-made modern piece.
