It was a chilly day here in DC, so were taking a mental vacation back to summer grilling season. This BBQ shirt and hat are from around 1965. After World War II, many newly affluent Americans flocked to the tropics, whether that meant the Caribbean or California. Vacationers developed a taste for casual living and distinctive local foods and drink and re-created them on the patio back home. Theyre retro now, but, back then, BBQ-ing accessories were new possessions indicative of a certain lifestyle.This shirts design included watermelon, pickles, skewers of meat (shish kebabs), grill racks with steaks and hot dogs, spatulas, flippers, even corn on the cob.
