Vintage 1940s 50s Mens Swim Set Beachwear 2-Piece Loop Collar Talon Zip Rare XL

Description: This is a fantastic pair of items made by Catalina 'A California Creator' circa. the mid-to-late 1940's. Both the top and shorts have an iconic vintage design, the likes of which simply aren't made any more. They are likely a very early style of men's beachwear in the transitional 1940's period that gave birth to the Bikini. The shirt and shorts are made of a white waffle-knit woven outer material, and the shorts have a unique internal lining. The shorts have a zip fly with a early 1940s Talon zipper, and both pieces feature gorgeous, large, shell buttons. The shirt is tagged as an XL, and the shorts are tagged as a size 38. Both of those sizes are slightly incorrect, the shorts should fit quite a bit smaller, likely at about a 34, and the top should be a cropped size large. This set was likely from a specific beach or country club, or cruise line with the crown and trident logo that is embroidered on the right leg. If anyone knows precisely what that logo is, or where it's from, please feel free to reach out and let me know. The original owner lived on the East coast, but traveled frequently.
