  • late 1970s
  • Part of Humber Fashion Collection

Made of fabric from Hungary. One of four shirts -- one white and three blue -- made of fabric purchased by Tran Thi Thu Ha (aunt) in Saigon. The shirts were tailored (either in Saigon or My Tho) for four of her brothers. This sort of purchase was illegal in post-1975 Vietnam. Including my father, three of the brothers escaped by boat wearing the shirts, and eventually settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were worn for several years, but eventually were put away and stayed in the possession of Tran Ba Hung (father). This white shirt originally belonged to Tran Ba Hung (father's older brother) who disliked his own clothes and would steal the others'. The shirt was taken and worn by Tran Ba Hung (younger brother). The remaining shirt in Vietnam was lost.
