50s Jantzen Swim Instructor Lifeguard Hi-Waist Shorts

From the 1950s, or possibly earlier, high-waisted shorts of lightweight cotton twill with attached cotton liner.

Shown in some photos with the adorable crop top we acquired with it, that may or may not have been part of the swim instructor's uniform. You can purchase that top here, and we are happy to offer a discount and combined shipping if you'd like the set. 

• "Swim Safety Instructor" patch at left thigh
• Drawstring, elasticized waist
• Separate, attached interior liner in white cotton (no Spandex, no polyester)

Labels: Jantzen 
(The owner's name name label is sewn on the interior of the shorts. We've blurred it in the photo to protect the family's privacy.)

Fiber/Care: cotton / washable

Condition: A few glitches as shown in the composite image (nothing that stands out when worn). The leg openings of the inner liner were elasticized, but that elastic is completely stretched out. It could be replaced with new (we can do it for you for a fee), but it's super comfy as is, and the liner doesn't show at the hem when the shorts are on.
