1920s Black Wool Mens bathing suit by MONARCH KNIT size M - L, true vintage swim

...wear An understated black All Wool bathing suit or swimming costume, dating ca 1920-1930s by Monarch Knit. It is made from a single piece with cut outs to the side of the chest, in a fairly straight shape with hidden boy shorts under a hip-length overlay. The top in a rounded scoop neckline with simple, non-adjustable shoulder straps. Originally meant as a Mans bathing suit but a wonderful piece to use as a costume, warm romper, sewing pattern example or display for men or woman alike! Condition: With wear and some holes mostly to the supportive panel / gusset, 1 hole on the back (side), 2 holes on the bottom front. This could possibly be fixed by someone with a good eye and a steady hand at sewing. Some of the thread looks to be a little loose or discoloured, mostly on the shoulder straps. The material is of a thinner variety but still feel stretchy and stabile and it would be easily wearable today. Size: Estimated Men's medium / Ladies Large. My mannequin is roughly a US ladies size 4. Please refer to my measurements to get a better idea of sizing Chest: 36 - 48 inches Waist: 34 - 44 inches Hips: 36 - 45 inches Length shoulder to gusset ca 33.5 inches
