Peace 1968

Found this while rooting through an old drawer this morning and hadn’t seen it in a very long time. I got it in a head shop on Samson Street in downtown Philadelphia in the spring of 1968. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago. I had a Nehru jacket back then too but fortunately no pictures.

Well, I actually did have two... a full length blue one and a smaller orange one that was more like a shirt. So very mod. But I drew the line with medallions.

I had to ditch the long hair, beads, peace signs, and hippie clothes when I enlisted in the Navy in late 1969 but did get to keep wearing bell bottoms.
