Item description
Authentic 1920s Art Deco men?s bathing suit, crafted from 100% black wool with contrasting blue topstitching accents. Features cutout sides, tank-style straps, and classic one-piece construction, typical of men?s swimwear of the period.
Condition: Excellent antique condition. Remarkably preserved with no moth holes or major flaws. Strong fabric and intact detailing. Not intended for modern wear ? measurements provided for archival context.
Provenance Note: Wool bathing suits dominated men?s swimwear from the 1910s through the late 1920s, when swim attire began transitioning into shorter trunks and cotton/lastex blends. This example, with decorative contrast stitching and cutout sides, reflects the influence of Art Deco design on everyday leisure garments. Such early 20th-century swimsuits are highly collectible and often sought after by museums, costume archives, and serious vintage collectors.
