Rayon (silky): t is no label. Pale beige ground with graphics and illustrations in aqua , burgundy and gold.

The size is a Man's Medium, giving onto large: Chest = 46" and length = 31". T are 5 buttons. The overall condition is fair +. All of the stitching is original and t are no repairs made, but are needed. The button thread is different from the rest of the shirt. The hem has come undone at the rear and t are several small holes (see picture), mainly near the hem that can be easily repaired, as well as many pin-holes, which can only be seen if held up to the light: all seem due to the age of the shirt.
