1950s vintage Red Head label plaid cotton kapok life preserver belt lake boating decor

Cute mid-century vintage Swim n Ski life preserver, waist belt style alternative to the traditional life jacket.

Those water skiers must have been crazy daring - those old wood water skis are so heavy if they hit you, and then you don't even get a 'real' life jacket because they don't look cool!

This is a 'Red Head', early Cabela's? It's made for a waist size of about 28" to 32". The cotton fabric and belting look good, just a little spotted. But we wouldn't suggest using this except as decor!
