    Description

    I wore these size Medium cotton shirts as a part-time summer replacement cargo serviceman (CSM) for Braniff Airways in the summer of 1963 at Love Field in Dallas.  So, they were worn for only 3 months and not since then, 57 years ago.  They are in very good overall condition, with exception that one has a tear on a sleeve and the other a tear low on the main body of the shirt on the right side, both shown in the photos and the cloth itself is in good condition. My mother was a seamstress and I think she repaired the pocket seam on one of the shirts, as shown in the photo.  These shirts have been kept in smoke-free homes for 57 years.  I think these are very rare items.  I have started the bidding at a price I can accept if necessary.
