Post whatever antique or Vintage fabric I'm a sucker for western and hunting scene fabric, so when i saw 2 yards of this fabric for $8.00 I snatched it up. https://flic.kr/p/2ieitEJ" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ieitEJ" rel="nofollow - f9 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9Hr" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9Hr" rel="nofollow - hf1 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickr https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9LT" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9LT" rel="nofollow - f2 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickr[url=https://flic.kr/p/2iejuLk][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49377480827 https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9Z3" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2ieg9Z3" rel="nofollow - f6 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickr_a https://flic.kr/p/2ieiu6o" rel="nofollow"> https://flic.kr/p/2ieiu6o" rel="nofollow - f7 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickrc8feb1bbe_h.jpg[/img][/url] https://flic.kr/p/2iejuLk" rel="nofollow - f4 by https://www.flickr.com/photos/52982610@N06/" rel="nofollow - bottleswest , on Flickr |

Years ago we found a tattered old shirt from a 1940's 50's Talc mine. This is the same fabric the shirt was made out of. https://flic.kr/p/2iegHkW" rel="nofollow">

| There was a time in the 1940s and 50s, maybe earlier, when bedspreads for a boy's bed could be had with western themes, as well as others like aviation motifs. Don't know about now and don't know about girl's. |

I collected the western themed fabric for a few years, sold most of it off, I’ll look into the fabric offerings in the 1940’s- 50’s Catalogs. |

| I totally remember those, my older brothers each had one in different themes. I'd totally wear a shirt of that fabric as well. |

I never had any but I recall ads for cowboy-style shirts (movie cowboy, anyway). I don't remember if I ever saw any in stores, though. I lived in a small town. Something I do remember rather vividly but not fondly were boy's sport shirts made of pastel colored nylon (I think they were nylon. They weren't cotton). They were transparent. The fabric was a mesh and had a very open weave, I suppose so they would be cooler. But in light pastel colors like pink and blue, they were see-through.

Couldn't find any pictures with those shirts, but here are a few in the same genre.

My friend gave me a yard of this and I made some pillow cases   My Aunt told me she used to have a pair of these in the 70's  here's Pauly Shore wearing a shirt with the print in Encino Man EDIT: I may be wrong about the last part, just looks similar. I have seen shirt versions on ebay before though |

found this bag made with the last scrap    I see RMC is doing some pieces. the prices are pretty crazy but the originals are even crazier.

| Is that bag made out of the original fabric? |
Posted By: LazyS
Date Posted: 21 May 2020 at 4:36pm

yes. apparently concord mills and avondale mills both produced some anyone know if the rmc is using reproduction or deadstock?
