The Manufacturer

Bobbie Brooks was established in 1939 by Maurice Saltzman and Max Reiter in Cleveland, Ohio, initially as Ritmore Sportswear, Inc. The company rebranded to Bobbie Brooks and became known for producing affordable, fashionable women's apparel. It was a significant player in the American fashion industry, particularly in the mid-20th century. Bobbie Brooks was recognized for its stylish yet practical clothing, catering to the tastes and needs of a broad consumer base.

The Piece

The Striped V-Neck Shirt in a red, blue, and yellow colorway made by Bobbie Brooks reflects the vibrant and playful design typical of the brand's vintage offerings. This piece was likely produced during the 1980s or 1990s when bold, colorful stripes were a popular fashion trend. The shirt’s V-neck design adds a touch of casual elegance, suitable for various casual and semi-formal occasions.

The Style

The striped V-neck shirt style was popular in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, as vibrant colors and geometric patterns dominated fashion. Stripes in contrasting colors were trendy for their eye-catching effect and versatility. This style was favored for its ability to be both playful and chic, making it a staple in casual and business-casual wardrobes.

The Features

• Material: Likely made from cotton or a cotton blend, ensuring comfort and breathability.
• Design: Features a V-neck cut, which enhances the casual and relaxed style of the shirt.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!

• Single Tag

The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
