1930's "Aviator Shirt"... Han Solo?

[Indy Magnoli]

I just finished this reproduction of a way out 1930's "Aviator" Shirt. While I was photographing it, I decided to take one of it unbuttoned... and something about it just screamed "Han Solo", so thought I'd post it here...

Kind regards,
Magnoli

Interesting design. I've always liked the overlapping bib style. Pocket's a bit odd, though.

Nice! Very Howard Hughes.

Pocket's a bit odd, though.

I take offense at that... its VERY odd!

Kind regards,

Where did you find the references to do that shirt? I like it, and I'm curious about the "origin" of that shirt (date, nationality, things like that...) Thanks

It was based on this shirt from the 1930s:

I stood the collar up on my version, but it can be ironed flat and worn like the original.

Kind regards,
Indy
