Description and Details
This vintage 1940s Chilprufe set includes an unused pure new wool vest with matching bloomers, a brilliant example of mid-century knit underwear designed for warmth and comfort. The vest features a ribbed waistline, helping it sit close to the body, while the bloomers have an elasticated welt at the waist and ribbed welts at the leg openings for a secure, wearable fit.
Condition is described as amazing and unworn, with one honest issue to note: a moth has eaten a hole into the leg of the bloomers, visible in the photos. Aside from that, the set presents as a strong, collectible piece of vintage knitwear, suitable for costume, display, study, or careful wear for those who love true period clothing.
Measurements (vest laid flat): Bust 46 cm (18 in), Waist 31 cm (12 in), Hips 46 cm (18 in), Length 82.5 cm (32.5 in).
