Get a New Deal with our 1930s NRA Men's Pyjamas
During the Great Depression, manufacturing processes had to change to reduce waste and keep costs down. The United States had the National Recovery Act that asked manufacturers to produce garments with less material and fewer trimmings for the sake of the recovery effort.
Based on an original pattern from 1934 stamped with the NRA logo, these men's pyjamas are as easy to wear as they are to make. They pull on over the head and tie at the waist with a drawstring. Simply constructed but still beautiful, you can whip one up in a weekend.
Fits chests 34" to 54". All sizes in one envelope.
Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.
