Rare mid-century King Louie Ten Strike bowling shirt featuring full chain-stitched squadron graphics from K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base in Michigan. This style of King Louie shirt, popular in the late 1950s–60s, was commonly used for Air Force intramural bowling leagues. The back reads "2001 Comm. Sq., K.I. Sawyer", representing the 2001st Communications Squadron, a Cold War era unit active on the base starting in 1961. The front is personalized with "Dick" in classic chain stitching—likely short for Richard, a member of the squadron's bowling team.
Shirt is jet black with dual chest pockets, original glossy black buttons, and soft mid-weight fabric typical of King Louie's early bowling line. Authentic Union Made tag inside. Chain-stitch embroidery is bright and intact. Light wear consistent with age, including a few faint marks and minor fabric texture variations (see photos), giving it the perfect true-vintage character.
Fantastic collectible for military history fans, bowling shirt c
