Vintage 1960s Robert Bruce "The Grubb" Swim Shorts
- An incredibly rare, authentic slice of late 1960s counterculture fashion history from Robert Bruce's highly collectible "The Grubb" line.
- Mind-blowing, all-over psychedelic pop-art print heavily inspired by the Peter Max and Yellow Submarine aesthetic, featuring vivid retro daisies, wavy rainbows, rolling hills, whimsical houses, and mushrooms.
- Includes the highly coveted, vintage circular ILGWU union label stamped inside the inner canvas coin pocket, anchoring it firmly to late 1960s/early 1970s US production.
- Tag reads "One Size Fits Medium (10-12)"—please note this is a vintage Youth/Boys Medium, not an adult size.
