⌛History Behind The Piece⌛
Towncraft, a JCPenney private label introduced in the 1920s, became a cornerstone of affordable American menswear. By the 1960s–70s, the brand was widely recognised for its polyester-cotton “no iron” shirts, which offered convenience alongside fashionable patterns. Today, pieces from this era capture both the practicality and bold spirit of U.S. department store fashion at its peak.
