1930s era Pendleton Woolen Mills Shirts • I’ve had many Pendleton shirts from the 50s-70s in my collection but the ones I love and wear most are these manufactured sometime before the start of WW2 • Something about the weave quality, Bakelite buttons and short placket with long tails really sets the tone of the era • Aside from those details a simple way to date Pendleton shirts from this era is prior to WW2 they did not denote the shirt size on the woven label but instead on a cloth hang tag below • The cloth tags are usually long gone by now while the main label remains #cablescloset (at Kansas City, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3u53mHaZZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w9kfnyd1id6b
