Girl and Guy Matching Maillots

Portland, Oregon
1921 JZ2130

Costume
   Matching Jantzen green with brown stripes wool maillot skirted pantaloon. Hats.

   TL.

Actions
   A girl and a guy model matching Jantzen swimsuits from 1921 (1).

Commentary
   The fact these are shot on seamless, the hairstyles, and fact neither model wears shoes or hose suggests that although the swimsuits are authentic the photograph may be a restage. Still, the idea of matching his and hers is an idea that will be lost to swimwear until the topless bikini era.
