Two years after I posted "My Favorite Spaceman,” I came across ANOTHER vintage image of him in Tomorrowland. I probably have at least 10 images of this particular man in a spacesuit.
A closeup of the ticket booth for the Moonliner attraction:
And while I am of course interested in the Spaceman, I am more interested in the shirt the little boy is wearing. At first I thought he had on a tie, but it appears to be a pattern in the shirt AND the collar. Crazy!
Here's a previously published color image from July 1958 of “My Favorite Spaceman.”

At first glance I was sure the kid was wearing a scout shirt and kerchief. Nope! Very interesting design. Vintage clothes can be cool, but I'm not sure I'm on board with this shirt, lol!
ReplyDeleteA shirt with contrasting collar and button placket isn't all that rare in the world of 1950's fashion. But as stu29573 states - this shirt may be "a bit much". Now, those space outfits, on the other hand... anything with a cape or 'tuck and roll' yoke - those are always in good taste-!
