1970s Sears “Hawaiian Fashions” L Barkcloth Swimsuit Retro Brady Bunch

Description

I am selling a rare early 1970s Sears “Hawaiian Fashions” Large Barkcloth Swimsuit. It is marked large though please note men’s swim suit styles were different and the suits worn lower than today. The care instructions on the tag might date this suit to 1972 or a bit later (care instructions for clothing were mandated in 1972) but the Sears tag is from late 1960s/early 70s. There is an inner draw string, a lining, and an outer pocket. 100% cotton Barkcloth.
My Dad worked at Sears from 1956 till 1970, so I grew up surrounded by Sears products.
At 50 years or older, it is solid, vibrant, clean, and ready to wear, though the lining seems to have lost some of its elasticity.
This is coming from my personal collection which I am dramatically downsizing. Own a piece of Americana from the mid century. Whether you are nostalgic for the clothes of your past, or into trad, prep, ivy league, rat pack, rockabilly, a hipster, iconoclast, collector, just like vintage, and or standing out in the crowd, now is your chance.
Please check out my other listings. I will be adding more vintage items like this as soon as I can.

About Me:
I am a causal eBayer who loves the variety of whimsical and vintage items on ebay. I sell mostly personal items that are from a clean, non smoker home, though I do have 3 indoor cats. Regardless, all clothing will arrive clean.
Policy:
I aim for 100% customer satisfaction, so please ask any questions you might have. I try to research items for dating and style but my descriptions are reference only, not definitive as labels and styles tend to bleed over from one period to another, and what one company will call a loop collar, another will call a camp collar, etc.
Measurements will be as accurate as I can make them but they are approximations and not definitive. I am happy to double check, regardless.
Vintage styles vary from contemporary styles and as actual individual body types vary, please measure against clothing you currently wear for best fit. If there are any issues, please contact me asap. Returns are gladly accepted but buyer pays for return shipping.
Shipping:
I will ship promptly using USPS Priority Mail. I never add in hidden costs. I will combine shipping on multiple items. Tracking will always be provided.
