Shirts-Joe McCoy Rayon Bowling Shirt 060 Yellow

From Joe Mccoy Sportswear, The Rayon Bowling Shirt / Jolly Roger Celebrates The Style And Creativity Of Bowling Shirts Seen Across Alleys In 1950S Usa.&Nbsp;

This Model Has Been Faithfully Reproduced With A Specially Manufactured Rayon Cloth To Achieve The Relaxed Drape Commonly Seen In Bowling Team Archive Images From The 50S, A Finish Achievable Only With A Fabric As Dense As Our Bespoke Designed Rayon Which Has Been Improved From The Type Used In The 50S To Control Shrinkage.&Nbsp;

While Early Bowling Shirts Were Traditionally Made From A Gabardine Cloth And More Commonly Cut With A Long Sleeve, The 1950S Saw The Emergence Of Bowling As A Competitive Sport In The Usa, With Amateur Teams Creating Unique Uniforms To Perform In. With The Need For A Fabric That Was Less Heat Absorbent And Naturally Breathable, Rayon Emerged As The Ideal Choice, *Striking* The Perfect Balance Between Style And Function

With The Benefit Of The Comfortable Rayon Fabric And A Loose-Fitting Cut, The Bowling Shirt Has Become Known For Its Boxy Shape And Two-Tone Design.

The Kitsch Appeal Of The Bowling Shirt Meant It Would Soon Be Appreciated Outside Of The Lanes And Adopted By Rock &Amp; Rollers, And Later Seen In Ska Culture.
