JANTZEN Co. WWII USAAF LOGO MENS SWIMTRUNKS w/ BELT, AMAZING CONDITION, & RARE!

Description

This listing is for an exceptionally RARE pair of ORIGINAL WWII vintage "Jantzen Co." mens swim trunks, complete with their original belt w/ Jantzen logo clasp, as well as an applied US Army Air Forces logo on one side, and the embroidered Jantzen Co's "diving girl" logo on the other. In a nutshell, they appear to have been hardly worn, and remain in spectacular condition. They appear to be made from a sort of terrycloth material. They are lined, and the original Jantzen Co. / Sebring Fla. label is intact to the interior. They are tagged as a size 36. These surfaced out of an estate lot of original WWII US Army Air Forces uniforms and effects, and as such, hadn't seen daylight in decades. I can't say with any authority as to whether or not these swim trunks were specifically made and marketed to the military as private purchase or PX items during the war, or whether the Army Air Forces insignia was added after the fact by their original owner, but for all intent and purpose, they appear professionally applied (IMO), and are placed in the same position as the Jantzen logo on the opposite side, hence I'm of the opinion they were probably made this way, but as I've as yet not found another pair with which to set a precedent, I'm going to leave this up to the prospective buyer. Either way, whether you're a collector of vintage beach or swim apparel, I very much doubt you'll come across another pair like this any time soon...really a great piece of vintage 1940's / WWII swimwear here, so if you're a serious collector, don't miss 'em!
