Vintage 60s Fire Islander bright red striped mod collared knit top! Long sleeve, featuring adorable gold-tone nautical anchor buttons at the sleeve cuffs! Peter Pan collar. Bright red (hue leans towards orange, not blue) body, featuring horizontal white and navy blue stripes throughout the front and back (stripes are varying widths). Back zip closure, unlined, no padding in the shoulders.

Quirky, adorable and distinctly MOD! Designed to look like you are wearing two layered shirts, a collared shirt over a striped vest! Straight, slightly boxy fit throughout. Material content is 80% Acrylic 20% Polyester, light/medium weight with a slight amount of give. Fabric is "double knit" with "fibers by Monsanto". Country of origin isn't listed but as this is circa the 1960s, I believe it is made in the USA!

Listed as a ladies size 17/18, but as this is vintage, it runs slim! Best suited for a contemporary US ladies size 10 (Medium) but please check my supplied measurements to guarantee a perfect fit! Due to the nature of this style, it looks best when worn a little loose, with a straight fit through the bust/waist/hips.

Brand new with the original tags but please note-there are a few slight superficial marks to the fabric, apparently from the factory. These marks actually look like a little bit of color "bleed" that might have occurred during the knitting process. Most of these are extremely subtle-the only "significant" mark that can be seen during wear is on the bottom side of the waist/hips, it is a horizontal dark line through one of the white lines, as shown. The other spots are extremely minor and really minuscule, almost more a "hint" of color than anything else (a slightly "blue-ish" tinge on the upper portion of the shoulder, and a few tiny dots on the bottom of the back). While the tag states that this fabric has "wash-ability", I personally was hesitant to dampen it to steam/iron, hence we left it untouched prior to photographing/listing. It might very well be washable but we wanted to leave that up to the discretion of the next owner!
