A dobby woven open collar shirt that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

The fabric is a blend of acetate and rayon, and these two types of yarn are woven together in a decorative diamond pattern.

Since each thread reacts with a different dye, the fabric is dyed using a method known as "two-bath dyeing," which has been used since ancient times for kimonos and other items.

Rayon, which is relatively familiar to Dry Bones, is a "regenerated fiber" made by chemically processing raw materials derived from wood pulp.

On the other hand, acetate is a "semi-synthetic fiber" made by mixing acetic acid compounds with a raw material called acetylose.

Both have a silk-like sheen.

Rayon is a fiber that is weak to water and prone to shrinkage, but this is compensated for by the high water repellency of acetate.

Acetate is also heat-sensitive, which is why it has excellent shape memory properties.

In other words, it also compensates for the weakness of rayon, which is its tendency to wrinkle.

The apparel situation in the 1950s, when synthetic and recycled fibers were at the forefront, is expressed through the diamond pattern (lozenge), which was also very popular at the time.

Also known as the "Nifty Fifties," this is a masterpiece that shows off the craftsmanship.
