King Louie is one of the most recognizable names in vintage bowling shirts. By the early '60s, they were the largest producer of bowling shirts worldwide, making gabardine and polyester shirts in their factory in Missouri. They advertised with the slogan, "Shoot 300 for 300 dollars", promising $300 to any bowler who bowled a perfect game in a King Louie shirt.
This one is a real stunner, from the red body with white piping trim and those gorgeous red tonal buttons, to the super beautiful chainstitching - really, that script lettering is just masterful - and a cool welt chest pocket to boot. Super comfortable, like all King Louie shirts. Made in USA.
