Bowling shirt

A bowling shirt is a style of camp shirt in which the fabric, color and design vary greatly, but frequently incorporate contrasting earth tones and simple geometric designs, with more expensive ones often made of silk.[1] They may have a single pocket on the left—small logos or monogram initials are also common options on the left breast.
