♛Condition Very nice vintage shape.

These shorts are original gymwear pieces from the early 1960s. They have been in storage for decades. A few have minor traces of fade. Washing for their first outing is recommended.

On rare occasions there may be a small flaw or blemish ("beauty mark") picked up from the decades and adding character, but we look our collections over carefully to only choose cool pieces for you.

Authentically 60-ish years old, these were built to wear hard and last -- true wearable history!

•••••• Our pieces are true vintage with a history and a past life, not newly made reproductions. Please be familiar with vintage clothing and read over our shop policies before purchasing. We are happy to answer any questions you might have to help you with online purchasing.
