1960s 1970s Vintage B.V.D. Mens Reversible Blue Patterned Swim Trunks or Shorts - Mens Sm to Md

$69.00

Super awesome vintage swim trunks that could easily be used as shorts! This cool piece was made to be reversible! Fabric is cotton. One side is a bright blue color, while the other is a off- white base with a blue and brown pattern (see up close image). The shorts zip up the side with a special reversible talon metal zipper and button at the side. The maker tag is for B.V.D. and says size 36. Would likely best fit a Mens modern Small/Medium or possibly a Women’s Large, but please see measurements. There is a bit of elastic to the waist of the shorts on the back. Model is modern size 4/6 for reference and they were a bit large. Please see measurements.

Measurements from flat lay:

  • Waist: 31 inches, but there is elastic at the back than can stretch another 2, possibly 3 inches

  • Hips: about 38 inches

  • Total Length: about 11 inches at the side (shortest length)

  • Inseam: 2 inches

  • Front Rise: 12.5 inches

  • Leg Opening (bottom): 11.5 inches (across/flat)

    Good Vintage condition - Some overall wear. There are a few loose threads here and there that don’t seem to impact wear. There looks like there was a stitch near the waist on the blue side that has been unstitched that looks like a few tiny pinpoint holes in a line (see image). A tiny mark was also found on the blue side and a slight discoloration spot found on the patterned side. Some wear to the button hole. I personally find these very difficult to button because of how closely the button is sewed to the fabric - but this could 100% be just me.

    All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
