Yellow swim trunks

Description:

Created from yellow nylon, these boys swim trunks are estimated to have been manufactured sometime between the 1950s and 1970s by the brand “Swim Wear.” It is a brief-style suit, a common swimwear silhouette for both boys and men, which is characterized by a snug fit and having the lower portion of the leg openings rise above the length of the crotch. Other than its zippered pocket, there is one other prominent design feature: a large fish eating a bird which is positioned over the majority of the suit’s front left side. It remains unclear whether this element was painted by the manufacturer or if it was added as a customization by the owners of the suit after its purchase. Hunting Vest.
