40s Boys Swim Shorts Size 4T 5T 6 1940s 50s Boy's Tan Stretch Satin Swim Brief NOS Deadstock Retro Beach Children's Summer Bathing

1940s deadstock swim suit for a young boy, made of rayon blend stretch knit in a ruddy terracotta hue. It's a high-cut brief with top stitching, never worn from the late 40s or early 50s. Marked 6 (would be slim, possibly also fits 4t or 5, check measurements).

Waist 18 to 21, hip 23.5, waist to crotch 10.75, outseam 6 inches (note the narrow waist and comparatively long length). Lot / size 6'' at side seam. Terracotta orange/tan rayon blend stretch knit.

Never worn, feels like new, the color is a bit faded and more tan in hue toward the side seams and crotch, with two hints of reddish marks to the back near the waist. Warm hand wash after wearing, shape and dry flat, steam if needed. Please note: for garments, all measurements (bust - waist - hip) are the maximum body measurements that will fit the item. These measurements already have ease subtracted and they are not actual fabric widths.

To get actual fabric widths, add two at the bust, one at the waist, two at the hip. More photos are often available.
