Metropolitan State Logo

I haven't seen many articles of clothing with the institution branded on them as such, which is why I took a photo

The logo is so clear that you wonder if this had been a spare article of state-issued clothing that had never actually been given out. In some of the places I have worked the huge industrial strength washers and dryers faded out everything but the stains fairly quickly.

Could this not be also a camosole that they used tie overactive patients in bed so they could't sit up? Just a thot.

are you suggesting that Mr. Motts lacks the experience to recognize a brassiere when he sees one?

It's the real thing, but was usually printed (stamped) in blue ink, so I think the stamping of this sheet was done at a more recent time. Sheets, towels, pillow-cases and some clothing was stamped.

Well I think some women will agree, some of those things can be likened to a straight jacket.... I'm sure some straight jackets are easier to get out of....

The material is too thin (needs to be canvas to be a straitjacket or the person will tear right out of it) and the bra strap is a bit of a give-away. I agree with the ladies about it being a form of straitjacket, however. The original French name for a straitjacket was a "camisole de force," or loosely translated an "enforced camisole." Us ladies know a camisole as an undergarment that is tight fitting and sleeveless, although now gals wear them as tops, wild women that we are.

But even still, as a woman, I wouldn't wear such a cold piece of clothing.

Maybe it is logo stamped in case one of the patients escape. They then return them back to their rightful owner. :/
