Vintage Bull Shirt

I want this 1940s Hand Painted Matador and Bull Theme Hot Pink Satin Shirt from butchwaxvintage:

It’s a killer smooth HOT PINK cotton satin late 1940’s button-up long sleeved shirt! Buttons up with 5 mother of pearl flat-head buttons. Cuffs have 2 of these same buttons on each. Wide 1940’s pointed collar with hand stitched detailing. Double chest patch pockets with hand stitched detailing on the flaps. On one of the pockets a bull fight ticket stub is hand painted- on it reads “PLAZA DE TOROS CUENCA SOMBRA” with a matador and bull in the middle of the ticket. On the back of the shirt a large scene of a matador and bull is hand painted.

Modern Woman Mondays Covered In (Comment) Ketchup

Jim sent a comment clarifying The Unknown Comic – Artist:

It’s a play on the single panel comic series “Right Around Home” by Dudley Fisher. More than likely, he did the ad himself.

Thanks, Jim!
