Description I purchased this heavy weight vintage aviator scarf, circa 1940s, from an estate sale. White in color, there are no markings so I am unsure of fabric content. It seems to be a dense good quality silk but possibly synthetic blend. The scarf is one panel of fabric doubled lengthwise to create a heavier drape. There is only one seam (internal raw edge) consistent with period military aviator pilot style. Ends of scarf are open with 1/4" fringe. This scarf is smooth with matte finish and has a heavy, cool hand. No snags or holes, though there are some very faint areas of discoloration on the underside. I'm not sure if these would come out with a cleaning or are remnants of stains. They are only visible on bright light close inspection and do not photograph. Scarf measures 12" wide, 48" long.
Vintage Condition: Very Good to Excellent
