1970s Lime Green and Red Checked Wool Boucle Shirt, 36in Bust
A check shirt with a difference! Made from a great wool fabric with a wide weave and scrummy texture, the bright lime green will stand out from the sea of red check this season! With a popper front, it could easily be worn as a shirt or more of a jacket over a dark green or red top. And being fitted, it will also look fab under your favourite dungarees or pinafore for some warmth.
• Lime green background with dark green and red check
• Close fit
• Pointed collar
• Faux button down front with poppers to fasten, with a hook and eye to the collar
• Long sleeve with a faux button cuff and a popper to fasten
• Made from a mid weight wool fabric that had a wide weave and a texture similar to boucle - I would advise a tee underneath if you are sensitive
• Inside there are pieces of elastic to the waistline, which has lost the elasticity. I assume they were added for a closer body fit. Shown in photos
• Care/composition: No label, handmade - I believe the fabric to be older (50s potentially) but the machine work on the inside appears to be from the 60s/70s
