Who says Indy can't do it in "Style" 8)

Found this Indy shirt at the Salvation Army Thrift Store.... $3.99

I wonder what year these were actually made and sold?

Nice find!!! I found my first "Indy" shirt at a vintage clothing store for a buck.

bink,
That looks a lot like the LL Bean shirt with the tag taken off. Maybe it was donated there by the same guy who just gave up his pants?

I like the Epaulets on the Polo shirt. It looks like it's a cotton gauze, or a very loose weave. It would be great in the summer. I saw some Polo shirts similar to these early this year, but I doubt someone would be giving it up already.

Hemingway, my shirt isn't an L.L. Bean shirt. Even though one of the tags is missing, it's way too old to be the L.L. Bean. I believe it's an old military shirt from way back when. I'll try to decipher the faded markings tonight if I remember.

bink,
I was making a joke. I think you missed it. I guess I should have used this: :lol:
sorry....

A little joke, little humor, ahem, yeah.

I know you were joking, Hemingway. And it would have been funny if I found them both in the same time and place. It would've made me wonder which Indy fan died! :shock:

Considering that it was all LL Bean, it might have been me!

Or just ticked off his girlfriend... :shock:

...my wife 'edits' my wardrobe occasionally...when going through the rag bin, I'll find an odd rag...then realize it's a sleeve...then realize it's a piece of a beloved shirt I haven't seen in a long time! The horrors! Of course, this only happens to stuff I admit I should have long since stopped wearing... :wink:

...like a favourite sweater I've had for 15+ years with the sleeves slowly unravelling. Thankfully, my wife realizes it's a "comfort sweater" I only wear around the house, so it's still here! :wink:
