VERY RARE 1960's VINTAGE RED ALL COTTON UMBRO SPORTS SHORTS

HIHG-CUT SPRINTER STYLE RUNNING SHORTS

FROM THE GOLDEN ERA OF UMBRO SPORTSWEAR - TRADITIONAL QUALITY - MADE IN ENGLAND

SIZE 34" - DEADSTOCK - LIGHT STORAGE MARKS

For sale here are original 1960's vintage Umbro brand red cotton sports shorts, these are made in the classic "sprinter" style and are cut high at the sides and have small splits at the sides, the waist fastens with a button and is elasticated at the hips.

CONDITION: Shorts come from the stock of a long closed-down sports shop, they are deadstock and unworn, in the original factory bag and with the original swing tag. As you can see there are a couple of small dark spot marks from their many decades sat in storage. There is no fade and no damage and the elastic is strong, I am pretty certain these marks will disappear with laundering, I have not tried, the reason being is that I prefer to sell items like this in as-found condition wherever possible so that the new owner can clean them according to their own preferred methods! The hips are part-elasticated and the elastic is still responsive.

SIZE: Shorts are labelled size 34, so designed to fit a 34" waist, they measure up 26" un-stretched and stretch out to a maximum of 38", inside leg comes in at 2.5" and total length from top of waistband to bottom of shorts (Taken from the hip), is 9".

It is VERY hard to come by Umbro shorts of this age, most I have seen are either much newer or very well worn, this is a one-off opportunity for someone, in need of a good new home!
