"Aviator" shirts

[Tony in Tarzana]

OK, now you really need to take flying lessons! Find a Stearman to train in.

The back treatment says '1950s', the collar says '1980s', and the overall shirt says 'pretty darn cool', regardless of whatever age it might be.

very very cool!

These look cool.... different, as is said. I've love to see how one of these wsould look worn with a period-style leather jacket. The khaki Magnoli would look especially sharp with something like an Aero Highwayman, or even an Indy style jacket. I can see that aviator look only being enhance by wearing one with the neck button open and a scarlet cravat, or maybe even a white silk scary tucked in there.

I like this one.

This next shirt is simply a gab shirt with a straight zipper to fasten the front rather than buttons, but the zipper and long collar is reminiscent of an aviator shirt, and I wonder if it was inspired by them?

The shirt above actually looks like it could be worn as an everyday functunal shirt rather than a costume item. I like the Camp Shirt styling and the wind flap which is very interesting.

1940s shirt from hell

Okay, maybe not from hell ... but certainly wackyland. This is one wigged out piece of gab:

[Bruce Wayne]

excluding the color, I might wear it. What do you think is so bad with it?

If it was in red it would look like the standard Monkees shirt =)

 

[Chasseur]

It reminds me of those 19th Century bib front shirts...

 

[Tomasso]

Kinda reminds...........

 

[MisterGrey]

It looks like what the chefs at my local grocery store wear in their cooking demonstrations.

 

[Dinerman]

Another one in a different color. It went on ebay around Christmas

 

[YETI]

That's certainly a 'ballyhoo' of a shirt and advert.

Guys were wearing stuff like this again (but with parachute pants and 'Zodiac' boots with metal toe guards) in 1987. Four decades had not improved the design.

I'll be honest, if I came across one that fit and was in a color that suited me, I'd wear it. It looks pretty cool to me, but I can see the Monkees comment. ha

Neat...

but I can't help but think it looks like a tucked-in trench coat. I'd probably wear one, though. They're certainly different.

Bob Hope looks like he's holding back a cuss word.
