1940s "Coldfire Glo-Suit" Knit Bathing Suit
$385
Super rare 1930s-40s knit swim costume with beautiful color and elegant drape.
We had pegged this suit a bit earlier from the 30s because of its styling, but the Gantron fabric "Coldfire" material was patented in 1948. Known for its pearlescent and luminescent texture, originally developed for military application. The knit is incredibly unique, the interior is a glowing hot pink color. It also uses Lastex yarn, an early alternative to the later spandex.
In excellent condition. Will fit a size S-L depending on desired fit.
