Historic Las Vegas 1953 Upshot Knothole Fitted Shirt Cotton Lawn

Fitted shirts are fitted but not meant to be tight, unless you order a smaller size that is. Check the measurements to ensure you have the right size for the kind of fit you want.

The shirt is designed for smart occasions but can also be worn un-tucked with jeans, casual pants, or chinos. The hem of the shirt has a beautiful curve reflecting a classic shirt cut and design. The collar is relatively small, and works open or buttoned up, depending on your mood.

The buttons do up on the old-school ‘mans’ side, so button on the right and buttonhole on the left. The sleeves are short but not too short leaving a space above the elbow (Other lengths are available).

Historic Las Vegas - 1950’s - Upshot Knothole

1950’s Atomic Era

The atomic age is linked to Las Vegas because the city used its proximity to Area 51, The Test Site, shamelessly as a tourist attraction. 

Casinos had watch parties when blasts were scheduled, and the blasts could be seen clearly from the roofs and pool decks of the resorts. This fabric is the 1953 blast codenamed Upshot Knothole.

This image is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code.
