Birth and history of bowling shirts
Bowling shirts began with the bowling boom that took place in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.
It has been adopted as a uniform for all bowling corporate teams and student clubs. The biggest feature is the name on the front and the team name, region, and other meaningful embroidery and patches on the back.
Also, because it is worn when bowling, it is easy to move and is made with an emphasis on functionality. The mainstream shape is an open collar type, and the hem is box-cut. Some have action pleats on the back.

Bowling shirt as fashion
Bowling shirts have become a fashion item, coupled with the rockabilly and rock'n'roll booms of the 1950s. And it was produced by American manufacturers and brands at that time and spread to the world.
Here, we will introduce the brands of vintage bowling shirts handled by Earl Kamakura.
◎ Mr. Morts
Mr.Morts is an American brand. Since there is a notation of Bowling Apparel and all of our shops are Made In California, it is possible that the company was mainly making bowling wear that actually existed in California. I see some made in the 1950s, so I think it's a brand that was created with the bowling boom.
◎ Hilton
Hilton is a bowling shirt company that started in Chicago, Illinois in 1956. It is one of the most famous brands of bowling shirts, and it seems to be an existing company.
