Shirt: Curious faded number with busy, jagged shapes in light orange and various blues. 100% cotton. Propeller brand.

Stop #140: Stop 3512. 56 Old Lake Road, Narrow Neck, North Shore City. Link: here
Shirt: Amazing beige number with navy border beautifully sewn into the seams. Front pockets and breast pocket and just tremendous. Mimosa brand. Size L. Claims to be 100% Pamut which comes up in Google in a Hungarian translator as cotton. Terrific pattern of striped lines and white triangles with small shield and car door shapes. If it had matching pants I’d never take it off. Wife has just informed me this may be some rest home pyjamas.
