THIS AMAZING, RETRO 5048 SIMPLICITY MEN'S SHIRT, VEST, AND PANTS PATTERN IS SIZE 38/CHEST 38.
WHAT VINTAGE STYLE HERE, WITH COWBOY MEETS DISCO ERA MEETS DUKES OF HAZZARD, COMPLETE WITH BELL BOTTOMS, A YOKED SHIRT, AND HAIRCUTS THAT MIGHT JUST FLY TODAY, SO OLD-SCHOOL, THEY'RE "FRESH" AGAIN. KINDA...
I DISCOVERED THIS IN AN OLD SHOPPING CART UPSTAIRS IN A SMALL TOWN ANTIQUE STORE, WHERE RANDOM MERCHANDISE FILLED THE CREAKY AREA AND REPRESENTED MANY ERAS, WITH CREEPY LIFE-SIZE, CARDBOARD MOVIE STARS AND SINGERS SCATTERED HERE AND THERE, MAKING ME JUMP EVERY SO OFTEN, THINKING I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE OR FELT SOMEONE STARING AT ME.
MAYBE YOU NEED A PATTERN FOR A HALLOWEEN COSTUME, A COSTUME FOR A ROLE IN A SCHOOL PLAY, OR YOU SIMPLY LOVE THIS SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN LOOK. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW DRESSED LIKE THIS IN THE SEVENTIES AND DOESN'T DRESS THAT DIFFERENTLY NOW (BUT SHH, YOU DID NOT HEAR THAT FROM ME).
MY FAVORITE IDEA WOULD BE PRESERVING THIS BY TURNING IT INTO WALL DECOR, FRAMING IT FOR YOUR MAN'S MAN CAVE, HIS BATHROOM AREA, OR YOUR LITTLE GUY'S BEDROOM OR NURSERY.
THIS VINTAGE PATTERN WOULD BE PERFECTLY PERFECT, IF ONLY THE GUYS HAD MUSTACHES...
