Established in San Francisco as far back as 1876, Can't Bust Em was initially a brand of the Eloesser-Heynemann Company. Through the first half of the 20th Century they would build a reputation as a preeminent west cost workwear brand. It would be purchase by Lee around 1946 who would continue to use the trademark for many years. This example dates to the 1950s, a lovely short sleeved shirt with a 1/4 Talon zip, chin-tab, selvedge gussets, and two pockets to the chest with pen opening.
