Vintage & Rare Mid-Century BUSTER BROWN White Sailor Suit 6-pc Family Boys Set w/ Ad - Sizes 5-14
100% Premium Cotton
Excellent used condition - like they were worn once or twice for a family photo and then stored away.
Talk about a piece of history! Finding the iconic mid-century version of the Buster Brown suit is so difficult, let alone a FULL SET.
Buster Brown hit its popularity height in the 50s and 60s, with very successful ad campaigns, encouraging people to dress their kids in the brand head to toe. The 1965 ad above shows the all-white sailor suits in different versions.
The one Hanes item is a Fleecie, of unknown date. It's also unknown whether the pieces are all from different eras and were just collected to get a size that each child could fit.
Includes the actual physical ad pasted above cut out from a 1965 magazine.
