Description

Mens Vtg 50s 60s Blue Cotton Button Up German Bowling Shirt sz XL.
According to Merriam-Webster, In medieval Germany, bowling was practiced as a test of religious faith and purity. The "Kegel" (bowling pin) represented a heathen, and those who could topple it with a round stone proved that they were free of sin. "Kegel" gave English the nouns "kegling" (meaning "bowling") and "kegler," by way of the German verb kegeln ("to bowl").
So, in essence the shirt says "bowlers" on the back in German.
Buttons are made of a porcelain glass. No interior tags are present. Embroidery is yellow on the shirt.
